Upper Control Arm Shaft question
What is the difference between standard and offset upper control arm shafts, and how do you tell them apart visually. Zip lists there's as replacement shafts and Corvette Central and Eckler's list them as offset shafts. Both of my mine have a slight bend to them, almost identical and I'm not sure if they should be that way or if they need to be replaced. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'll take a stab,..the offset shafts are for setting camber on old cars with saggy frames. I use them on one of my 69 Camaros which are unibody cars which can sag over time. The offset shafts allow for more adjustment when aligning the front end.
You might see if your car will align without the offset shafts,..being a full frame car, the chances are good.
I hope this is the quesiton you're asking.
