    Scooper,
    you will need 2 sets of those, one per side. The flat pieces of metal with the elongated holes are the guides for the eccentrics. They will go on first with the portion with the 2 bent up tabs facing out. These are what holds the eccentrics in place and allows them to move the control arm. Then the eccentrics the washer and the bolt goes through them. There is another bent tab on the back that will fit in a slot or something on the control arm mount to keep it in place. They will only go on one way so if it doesn't fit flat then turn it the other way. Yes they will be adjusted front and rear of the control arm to get the correct caster/camber adjustment. Pretty easy install. What year and model truck is it and I will see if I can get a set of instructions for you.

    Hey, THANKS Fordmaster!!! :Handshake

    That description sounds like what I needed to install these.

    I just got in from the shop and he also said I needed one kit for each side, so it I just ordered a second kit and should have it ready for install by the weekend.

    Rockauto.com seems to get their stuff out pretty quick.

    got the second set on order, and going to save money and install myself. It looks like a simple job.

    Only question I can think of is (and does it even matter?) which direction should I install the bolts?

    So Fordmaster, if you can find those installation instructions, I would appreciate them in case those bolts need to go in a special direction for ease of access by the allignment technician.
