Last time, you saw Ulix install offset trunnion bushings from Winners
Circle into his completely rebuilt suspension.  After some initial
complications (/  /), they went in correctly.

Stock camber is + 3/4 deg.  This was supposedly verified at an aligment
session subsequent to the suspension rebuild.  My calculations after
measuring the offset bushings had led me to believe that they would add
1.0 to 1.5 deg negative camber, yielding about - 1/4 to - 3/4 deg.
Naturally the installation of the bushings messed up my toe setting (1.18"
toe out) so I had an alignment done this morning.  The result was

Left    + 0.3 deg
Right   - 0.5 deg

I am going to check if the left bushing has shifted, as suggested by
someone on this list
