New camber bushings?

Rebuilding my d60 on the front of my 97 F350. These came out. They dont match. Should i get new ones? One looks like its adjustable?

Not the best analogy but those are the same principle as shims. They come in different degrees depending on how much your caster and camber needs to be adjusted. They are different due to the left and right side of your axle needing different bushings due, I guess, to manufacturing tolerances. You shouldn't just arbitrarily replace them until you know what your caster and camber is and whether or not those bushings are still the correct ones. When you're done with the D60 rebuild you should probably take your truck to a competent alignment shop to see if the bushings need changing. Ask around and try to find one that works on trucks.

If you're a serious DIY'er you can buy caster and camber gauges for around $200 and check it yourself.

Once the ball joints are installed? They can be removed and adjusted? I might look into one of those gauges. I like doing things myself. I have more time than money these days. LOL
