Moog Offset K7103 installation question -'65 Barracuda
Thanks all, for the responses. Here is what I came up with to align the bushings before pressing in. I'm laying both arms up, like when in the car, on a flat surface. My goal is to align the bushings so the arrows are level and point directly away from each other (fronts) or directly at each other (rears). This is the most accurate way of orienting the bushings properly and balanced with each other that I have come up with. You will note that the arrows are not all yet aligned, as I am in process of correcting what I did 12 years ago, one is pressed out now. Notice the photo from above with the arms turned over and the sleeve that has been pressed out along with the bushing. This is a bit of a mystery that I would like input on. The parts book lists 2 (not 4) of these sleeves for Dart and Valiant. The service manual says the sleeves are for Belvedere and Satellite Police and Taxi, no mention of A bodies. I have a second set of upper control arms (from a '65 Barracuda, non FS) given to me years ago and they do not have any sleeves. So, were these sleeves only used on the Formula S, (my car) and maybe Dart GT? Why would they only be used on the rears and not fronts of the UCAs?
