thanks again,

I would strongly suggest the offset upper shafts and at least +0.500" upper ball joints for a stock front suspension 1st or 2nd generation F or X body. It will allow you to get enough caster to make the car go straight, and it will allow you to reduce camber change which helps with several other problems. The delrin/aluminum bushings that have grease fittings are the way to go. The bump steer kits are also legal now.
