Strut Rod Question

I shaved a set down on a bench grinder until they matched the stock ones. If you center 2 of them on one of the sleeves that they slide over & then carefully grind, cut or sand them down until they are even at both ends with the sleeve you will have the 2 inner ones that you need. This link may help: http://users.erols.com/mathewg/bushings.html. The outside or front one does not matter but you will need to shave the inner one to keep the lower control arm pivot where it should be. If not you will have alignment problems & can burn up the LCA bushing prematurely. Moog makes a kit that they claim fixes this problem, part # K7040. We used the shaved set on a friend's car & I am trying the Moog set on my car.
I also sent Energy Suspension an email asking why they would make something & sell it for a car it is not meant for instead of just making the right part but surprisingly never heard anything back so they are now off of my "companies to buy from" list. How hard would it be to make the right part? It is funny how they make adjustable strut rods & point out the problem but no one makes the right bushings. I guess $195 is better for business than $18.

That's my picture of all the bushings laid out that Matt used. I did this about 14 years ago to my car and used Moog offset 7103 bushings. I could get up to 5 degrees caster with stock upper arms.

IMHO, if you bother with an adjust strut rod, pony up and get ones with spherical rod ends.

Here's the shaved rear poly bushing in my hand that I ran for 14 or so years. Behind it installed on my car is a Hotchkis strut rod with spherical rod and with full adjustment.
