Qa1 upper control arm and moog offset bushing help
Hello I’m new to this posting and apologize if this is in the wrong area but need some help. I have a 1970 duster. I’m running a qa1 level 2 front suspension kit. Control arms/kmember /sway bar all qa1.... well having some issues at the alignment shop getting neutral camber on the drivers side . Passenger side is 0 and drivers is .5 negative. The control arm is maxed out and will not allow any more positive camber adjustment. The guy doing the alignment is a oldschool guy who knows his stuff but maybe he’s a bit rusty. There could be a slight tweet to the frame from a previous owners accident but not sure. Anyways. Can anyone tell me if a moog k7103 offset bushing will fit into a 52301 qu1 tubular upper control arm? ????
I don’t wanna frame shops the car. Just need a little extra help to get my wheels straight without a frame twerk. Called qa1 and some dummy couldn’t tell me anything about anything you know how it is with some tech guys...
I’d like to add that I have been running running the 52303 qa1 control arm which has the small ball joint going into one of those small to big ball joint adapter sleeves going into a 73 spindle.
Now cause I hate that I just bought the 52301 upper control arm for a 73 spindle that has the big proper upper ball joint for the 73 spindle. I’ve been suspicious that maybe that alone is why I can’t get the positive camber on that corner due to the incorrect geometry of the small ball joint control arm going into the big ball joint spindle. Uhg sorry this is so long winded but please someone must have advice here if the offset moog bushings will fit into the qa1 upper control arms or if they think my issue is due to running the wrong ball joint and control arm into the 73 spindle. Also all I know is the bushings that come in qa1 arms are energy bushings don’t know if moog will fit? Ps from what I was told from qa1 is that I can’t just change the small balljoint to the big ball joint on the 52303 cause the big ball joint just won’t fit in the hole that the small one does so have to buy the other set with big ball joints uhgggggggggg help. And here’s a pic of my alignment print out
