Camber, Caster Plates

[cccccc]

i got a pair of camber caster plates from a buddy of mines and it was off of his 91 drop top. the plates look like they are billit cut outs and have slots for camber caster adjustments, but when i try to see if they will work with my strut(the plates wont go over the onion head mount on top of the konis)the plates dont seem to go over the onion head unless there was a spacer or longer studs on the strut. what does you guys suggest and what do yall use?

you dont use the onion head setup with cc plates. the plates use bushings and spacers provided with the kit.

i didnt get a kit i just got some plates and the hardware to bolt them down. is the onion head piece part of the strut or some part by itself.

The onion head is the top of the strut mount. It is seperate from the strut itself, and must be removed to mount the caster/camber plates. Because the struts are under considerable pressure, it is probably best to place a jack underneath the LCA, then remove the nut holding the strut in the onion head mount, and then slowly lower the LCA to relieve pressure on the strut. Once this is done, you can remove the strut entirely (don't lower the LCA too much, or the spring will come flying out) and then remove the three nuts holding the onion head mount. Reverse the procedure to install the caster/camber plates.

so what is the onion head mount used for? will it effect any handling attributes, and the strut will mount in the car with that off?

[SVOBart]

Well, if you install the caster/camber plates, you'll remove the onion head and it won't go back in. The bushing at the top of the aftermarket plate serves the same purpose as the onion head mount.

i took a look at the strut and and like yall said the onion head mount does come off. and i found out what plates i got there MAC camber caster plates but im missing the bushing that goes where the onion head mount goes did not come with the plates, so i need to know where i can get the bushing at by it self.

Since they are MAC C&C plates, I'd contact mac ---

I'm not sure how they sell seperate parts, you may have to go through a reseller (like SVPU)
