I am putting M&M Caster camber plates on my 86. It has no mods in the front other than H&R sport springs and 17" 05 wheels. Do I need an additional bushing to not hit the hood or will the bottom out bummper help? (sounds like its hitting now) Also should I do a bumpsteer kit?
Bruce, I never had to use any bushing for additional clearance for the hood but I guess it all depends how much of the top of the strut it showing..............Bar
Depends.Also should I do a bumpsteer kit?
After you get the caster set (rough setting) using the CC plates, measure the actual bump steer change (each side). If it's more than 1/2", then definitely need to fix that. if it's between 1/8 and 1/4", maybe. less that 1/8". probably not.

For hood clearance, I needed to drill some clearance holes in the hood bracing to make sure my struts didn't hit.
Enough of that, it was giving me a headache.
My hood is all hacked up already since the throttle on my turned intake stuck on it. (WIDE OPEN) But I would rather not cut it any more if I can avoid it.
Bruce,
I would recommend get the MM strut bumper to prevent the bottoming out the strut in the housing.
