Although I have never used them, the benefit is allow more adjustment for alignment. Older frames have a tendency to twist over many miles not giving you enough latitude to get the alignment within specs. The offset shaft moves the pivot center on the upper A frame without having to resort to pulling the frame to get it back to the original factory specs.

That's what I was told when I brought my old Firebird to the alignment shop.

Used these effectively on my 1968 Firebird.

Did you notice a difference? Did it come with improved alignment specs?

It's been a while since I did this. I had been told that my frame had sagged and that made it difficult to shim for alignment properly. I got my specs from http://www.pozziracing.com/first_gen...gnment%20specs

I think I'm running -1.3 Camber, +4 Caster and 1/8 toe in

See if you can get the alignment you want with stock shafts. If not, then get the offsets
