When modifying uca to offset bushings do you put offset bushings in front and rear of each control arm? So 4 required? (ie 2 bushings per contol arm) newbie here.
 
Yes you need 4 pieces, but they are sold in pairs by Moog; so two kits.
There's some scuttlebutt as to the directions not being right. Just remember what these bushings are trying to do, which is to move that upper BJ to the back of the car, for more caster.
 
you would gain additional movement with only 1 offset bushing each arm. May not be enough though. I don't know if anyone has tried that.
 
Two bushings per arm will get you about 4 to 4.5(at most) at Zero camber, and both sides may not be the same.By the time you dial in a half a degree of neg.camber, and even up the casters,you may be down to 3.5*caster.
IMHO, I wouldn't waste my time with just one per arm,cuz our A's respond very well at 3.5caster,and -.5camber on radials.
With the new settings, bump-steer may become an issue.
