The AFCO route, help would be nice.

A few people on the board have gone the AFCO camber correction route I noticed, and my ingals are just about done, so have been thinking of doing the same. My care has gotten so bad I don't dare drive it. I was just wondering if anyone out there who has done this, or knows of it, could help me out.

This is what I know so far from other posts:

19514 swaged steel tube 14" threaded (x2) $15.60ea
30211 tie rod end LH $15.50
30212 tie rod end RH $15.50
10420 rod end 3/4in RH $11.85
10421 rod end 3/4in LH $11.85
20023k rod end/bushing kit 3/4" lower (x2) $17.85ea
10140 jam nut 3/4" RH (x2) $0.95ea
10141 jam nut 3/4" LH (x2) $0.95ea

Am I missing any parts? I am going to be jacking up the car and doing this myself (pinching pennys) so if there are any other parts I am going to need, or tools other then wrenches, please let me know. Also, I heard you need to cut a half inch off of each bushing, where? Thanks for the help.
 

The 20023k rod end bushing kit comes with standard thread rod ends along with the bushings. If you buy 2 reverse thread tie rod ends and the bushing kit, you don't have to purchase the rod ends separately (10420 and 10421). I can't remember if 20023k came with jam nuts so I would order 2 reverse and 2 standard regardless.

10141 jam nut 3/4" LH (x2) $0.95ea
30211 or 30212 tie rod end (x2)$15.50 (I can't remember if RH or LH is reverse thread)

You have to cut 1/2" off the end of each bushing that fit into either side of the rod end (2 per side).
 

How can I tell which are reverse thread? That would be a good thing to know no?

RH is right hand thread
LH is left hand thread

One is normal...one reverse.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say RH because...lefty loosey...righty tighty...is normal and LH is reverse

keoni - does the kit come with the balljoints in the pictures from the other thread. Could you give us a quick rundown of what it takes to install one of these arms...Thanks!

The tie rod ends (30211 or 30212) are the ball joints. The rod end/bushing kit (20023k) are the bearing side/helm joint. Instalation took about 10-15mins per side. Just remove the entire rear upper control arm and replace it with the new one. I measured the stock arm and set the new one to the same length so I was in the ballpark when it was installed.
