AWESOME!!! New MOOG Caster adjustment kit for my truck!!! no instructions...

How do you install this thing?

A couple of eccentric washers, a couple of bolts with flat sides to turn the washers, and few other parts the hook up somewhere to make things move.

Anyone set one of these up?

 

they should go on the upper controle arm mounts on the differental end. take out one side at a time. where the holes go through the brackets there usually are stamp lines for slots. you probly have to knock out those slots. then put the kit on.
i have not done this but have seen it on diffs that i have worked on.

 

Can anyone find me some instructions? The clippy part...I have no idea where/how it would go on.

I know the general area on the car where this will mount, just not how to prepare it and which orientation they go on.

The allignment shop said they would do it, but I wouldn't mind saving $150.

 

I looked at my ecentrics before in the past and they were all straight up. Do you not have any now?!

 

None.

Do these go where the upper control arms attach to the truck?

If so, then I would need two kits as there are two attachments on each side.

But then that would adjust camber, not caster.

Am I looking at this all wrong?

 

That is where it goes. Supprising that there are none. It will adjust both caster and camber.
If you remove the nut and washer from one, according to what you said, you will not see a slot in the frame where the bolt(s) go. BUT, I would think that there would be the ecentric guides AND ecentrics. Those guides may need to be welded to the frame.

 

I noticed a grooved elongated hole on the front bolthole but no eccentric. Didnt pay attention to rear hole. I will look closer and see. They do.

How do they adjust both caster and camber without moving both?

It seems they would have to compensate for caster adjustment moving camber by taking it up with the other bolt???

 

I'm usually pretty good at finding instructions etc but I cant find em. Got the moog part number of my Carquest page but no luck on the web.
I havent ran in to a truck like yours at our dealer yet that needed eccentrics installed.

 

There are 4 holes per side. In the past (on Chevy models) there is a elongated hole on one side and not on the other per bushing mounting. Let's look at the left side. .. The left has a front and rear bushing. The outboard flanges would have the slots and the inboards would need to be pressed out as they would still have the elongated plug stamp still in place (I have the tool for this). I don't know if this is the case here. Either way, I am supprised you don't have the guides. I am thinking that the guides you have lign up with/at points and may require folding over of the tabs or welding. I would want them welded myself.
You actually would want all 4 to be adjustable. Your thinking on how it is affected is on. You have to be looking at it on a live screen to see which way you need to be turning the ecentrics. Compensating is usually an occurance unless the tech is ok with the results and it isn't actually affecting the alignment as for wear or pulling..

 

Yeah, my thinking was if you adjusted the front one out, the caster and camber would change so you would need to adjust both sides at the same time until caster and camber came into place.

I will order a second set, they are cheap. $30 per set.

 

your truck must be 2wd. i was thinking it was 4wd with a streight axle.

 

Yes, 2wd. I figured you thought 4wd when you talked about "differential end".

 

lol.. mine IS a 4 WD. It's not designed like in the past tho. We have these things called CV axles now


I believe the suspensions are set up the same, MAY have different length/shaped arms or something. I am thinking something could be different to compensate for the height differences. For instance, I have 4 WD with 17" wheels, I believe Scott has 2 WD with 20's. We MAY sit close to the same height..

 

Well now it makes more sense.

 

I am pretty sure mine is similar to a 4x4. It has the splined receptacle in each hub to accept a CV shaft, if one was around to stick in it.
