upper control arm question
 
I have the upper control arm out of my 64 going to replace the bushings. should I replace the shafts with global west offset shafts. The control arm shafts had the same amount of shims in them on both sides about 4or5. tires are wearing even. Just wondering if its a good idea to be able to have more caster if needed

Offset shafts meant to give you camber back! PS these types of units can be rotated (or flipped) to give you eitger Poditive or Negative camber. Generally there are tricks to get more Castor or just buy some of the A-arms offered to get more.

The answer is, in my opinion ---- it depends! If you're using your car for track days or are going road racing where you need lots of front camber, then go for it. If you intend to only drive it on the street in nice days, then leave it stock.
