68-72 Nova Front Suspension
 
More help needed, guys.

About to order the Global West front end kit for the 68-72 Nova. Is the off-set shaft something I should consider?
Also, Howe makes the ½ longer ball joint. Can these ball joints be used in addition to the off-set shaft to achieve more positive camber?
Does Afco make a ½ longer ball joint? Any preference to the two? Open to suggestions. This will be a ’69 Nova for G automatic.

Todd,
It's positive caster that you want, that's what makes the car want to go straight, especially when you run really close to zero toe in. Yes, the shafts are a good idea, and so are the ball joints, the ball joints keep the camber a lot closer to zero, so that you don't have massive camber change during suspension travel, and that helps with bump steer, to a lesser degree.

Most of the actual racing ball joints are made by either Moog or TRW, and boxed for other "private labels". Either is a good product.

Now that bump steer kits are legal, Spohn performance makes a nice piece for for early camaros and 68-72 novas.
