Aaron, please clear up some confusion for us about your 5 degree stock looking upper control arms. Part # 5557SCA-U5. I called your tech line and he said the shafts were stock without any offset. Looking at some pictures in this post and the comments, they seem to be offset. Are the shafts offset or not? http://www.trifive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169511

Aaron must be on vacation. :)
By the pictures in the other thread, the shaft does appear to be offset. The tech guy said they were not.
Another question, do the arms give 3 degrees and the shaft give 2 degrees or does the arm and shaft give a total of 7 degrees?

All the upper replacement cross-shafts including what is installed in the new arms have 2 degree corrected camber in them. The arm itself is where the caster (5 degree) takes place. Remember, most stock front crossmembers sag pulling the top mounts in slightly, the Cross shafts are to correct that.
