Default C-4 camber rod bracket differences

HELLO!
COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT THE DIFFERENCES ARE IN THE CAMBER ROD BRACKETS USED ON THE C-4?
I've FOUND THAT THERE ARE:
1. AN '84 - '87 DESIGN
2. AN '88 DESIGN?
3. AN '89 & UP DESIGN
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Now I am confused.
Other references are saying that GM used the same design for all C-4s!

Could anyone confirm please?

Cant say but there are aftermarket ones that drop your strut rod lower so it is more in line with the half shafts. With the stock bracket there is about 2.5 degree change in camber throughout wheel travel, with the aftermarket one it is zero degree change.

There are 2 different designs.

1984 to 1987 narrow suspension
1988 to 1996 wide suspension

The bracket on the early cars places the inner pick up point for the camber arm higher and the arm runs at a bigger angle relitive to the halfshaft than the later suspension. Its also closer to the diff.

The bracket pictured is an early narrow suspension one.

The brackets are not interchangeable.

Thank you very much for your responses.
rklessdriver, how can you tell the difference?
Would it make a difference if they came from a Dana 36 or 44?

D44 and D36 use the same bracket.

Very easy to tell the early and later brackets apart.

Early cars the camber arm adjuster is roughly located in between the 2 differential mounting holes.

Late cars the camber arm adjuster is roughly 2" below the lower differential mounting hole.

...... The early brackets used a smaller diameter bolt to attach to the diff ................
