74 Duster, resto mod 6.4 front end rebuild questions

With the cam bolts for the upper arms is there a rule of thumb position to set them at. I just have the standard bushes not offset bushes
you are probably going to want to go all the way in on the back and out on the front to start, then if your camber is off slowly adjust the front one in. it will be hard to get - camber and Positive caster with the stock arms and non-offset bushings. so you will have to balance them.

Thank you that makes sense, i discovered the offset bushes after i had ordered my arms lol
 
SO i have a full PST front end kit that i purchased over a year ago. Probably went to early on it as my new arms had the upper bushes and big ball joints already so now have spares i guess
The idler arm is a non greasable unit and slightly shorter in height where it bolts to k frame. With two washers one top one bottom fits snug in the k frame bracket, essentially when you torque up you are loading up on the inner metal sleeve.
The original maybe a moog idler as has the removable rubber washers top and bottom. Anyone see any issues with the pst one? Can easily rotate with no slop up and down just a small amount of movement around the bolt shaft

This is what it looks like internally, any concern its non greasable? Guessing get everything centred with the steering box and then torque to 60ft. Cant find much info on it. Or do i just buy a moog?

Not seen the car sitting on the wheels for a while so dropped it down to see how it sits as not done it sinse the diff was installed. Very happy with how shortening the diff has tucked the wheels in perfectly. Hopefully once car all completed it sits another inch lower but time will tell.

Should idler arm once torqued up be easy to manoeuvre left and right? As above just want to make sure its correct
