A-Arm Shafts For Volare
<cr>
I've installed a Volare clip in my 56 F100. It looks like I will needing some offset upper a-arm shafts so I can set the camber correctly.
Does anyone know where I can find some?

To begin with, this was an early stage request for info. Just trying to get all my ducks in a row so when it comes time to start finishing up, I'll have the info I need. With that in mind...
It was either this site or the No Limit video where I learned of a basic Volare camber adjustment problem and that offset shafts where available to deal with the issue.
I have not tried to set the camber but it is very apparent a large adjustment is needed and it does not appear there will be enough adjustment available.
There is a couple of pics in my gallery. As you will see, it was just a standard installation.

I had never heard that. I'm sure Bob's F100 or No Limit would know where to get the parts if it's a common problem. Your camber should be unaffected by the install at stock ride height. Must have something to do with t-bar adjustment in your case. I bet shaft kits are available. They have kits for just about any problem you can run into on common suspensions. Let us know how you come out if you don't get your answer here.

Hang in there, I am doing a search, but I did see these arm kits on a link in the Volare club of America website. It was a stock item at the vendor. I did not need them, so I deleted the link. Keep looking and I will post asap.

Okay, just took some time to Google. Found these parts at about 35 different places all over the USA and Canada. Lowest price is 51.00 set at: http://www.plymouth-autoparts.com/partslookup.jsp ( Moog # K7091 ) And they also have a bushing kit ( Moog # K7190 ) at 38.00
I have used moog and it is the best Imho. I did front end/brakes for 35 years b4 retire. PS: offset anything is always available to bring things back into adjustment due to factory engineering errors, engine weight, accidents, swaps and racing. Alignment guys can fix (almost) anything. Good luck.
