      the B-body spindles are 98% the same as the F-body spindles so that is not the problem, I see the A-arms you have are our old design, do they have the offset cross shafts? if so one may be rotated 180*

      I'm not sure if the cross shafts are offset. How can I tell, and how can I tell if one is 180 off? If it is, what's the fix for it? Thanks for the help.

      look at them from the top you should be able to see if the shaft is in line with the bushings or not, our older A-arms did not have offset cross shaft, the new ones do this started about 3 years ago.
      If you do have ofset shafts and one is 180* off just unbolt it from the frame mount and twist the shaft over

      I'll take a look. I know I bought mine within the last three years, so they must be.

      I thought that offset was for caster changes, not gonna do much for the camber issue??

      Oh, and I saw you are looking at the SPC arms, so am I. Im pretty close to dropping the change to get them, tossed around all the options, including welding up my own, the cost was a wash really.. Lemme know what you end up with.... JR

      no, offset cross shafts are for camber, althougthey can provide additional bolt length availability to add more shims for caster adjustment

      I took a look at the arms and they don't appear to be offset. The shaft is straight and in line with both bushings.

      well you need to check again something is not right, our arms are 1/4 shorter than the stock ones that would need LESS shims to get the camber setting, I do have a car here that has ove 3/4" of shims on one side just to get to the stock setting, so I can see if you have a car that is way of you could run short on the studs with the thick steel shaft
