Are aftermarket A body upper control arms worth it ?

I’ve got over 3.5 with offset bushings.

my camber was .5 to 75 degrees though. So that helped. And I shaved my rear poly strut bushing 5/16”

Oh totally, that’s just kinda the average I’ve seen between my own cars and cars people have posted about or I’ve talked to. I’ve heard of people barely being able to get +3 with them and I’ve heard of people getting all the way to +4.5* or so with them.

Like anything suspension related on these cars it depends on your ride height and the other components you’ve got.

So my rule of thumb is just if you can live with around +3.5* then offset bushings should be fine. If you want too much more than that then you should probably look into tubular UCA’s. And if you’re looking to go past about +5.5* you need adjustable tubular control arms, the non-adjustables I’ve seen don’t have more than that built in.

I did have a set of non adjustable tubular UCA’s that also had offset bushings installed into them on my Duster, those were the ones I got to +8* caster inadvertently. I didn’t think they would go that high! And I have the SPC’s from Bergman Autocraft on there now, they’re great.
