I tried to search but got either nothing, or a bible to look through.

How much (in inches) does the upper ball joint plate need to be offset to the rear to achieve 5 degrees caster? 2nd gen Camaro

I'm a cheap bastid and have found someone to make a set of upper control arms for my Camaro for less $$$ than the mainstream companies. The guy will probably know, but I wanted to ask for myself just in case he doesn't.

Thanks,

We offer Pro Touring F body Upper A arms complete with balljoints for $315 with free shipping. Theyre made in the USA and I believe nicer quality than some of the Mainstream companies and they are much more reasonable in price.

Thanks David Pozzi! I know he hasn't posted in this thread, but more internet research led me to his discussion of upper arms currently on the market, and I found the answer I was looking for. 3/4" or so for 5* caster
