Closing thoughts on this:
My main issue of massive caster variance i believe to have been cause by poly bush in the lca
And blown out strutrod bush. Forcing lower arm back and erasing my caster on one side. As andysauto1 pointed out.. my ball joint was 1/2” more rearward on the side with negative caster ..upon further research,
I pulled this info off b body forum:
“ A thicker rear strut rod bushing or thinner front strut rod bushing will move the inner strut rod washer rearward along with the strut rod. This moves everything rearward. Any rearward movement results in a loss of Positive caster. The upper control arm adjustment for camber and caster does not have a huge range. Most cars can get no more than 2 degrees using stiock bush
When viewed from the side, an imaginary line is seen through the top and bottom ball joints. The upper ball joint must always be further to the rear than the lower.”
Than i found this:

Im using 72 strut rods
With moog k7040 rubber strutrod bushings. I plan to mock it all up before i cut any bushing to keep the lower control arm where the factory intended it.
Thanks to everyone for the replies. Im just posting my conclusions for future knowledge seekers. God bless the search function..
