    Just had front aligned on my elky, frontend guy told me he has no adjustment on top shaft. Got just a little to mush camber.
    Any one know of offset shaft or offset bushings? Moog? I called myself searching and i"l keep looking. Any help. Again 59 elky,

    How much is too much?

    Honestly never seen an old car that had too much, seen plenty that didn't have enough in which case I have used moog offset upper shafts or if the owner is willing to spend the money I put them on the frame machine and spread the front crossmember back out to specs.

    It needs more Positive camber. Shaft is against the bracket. And yeas pushing /spreading would be the way to go.
    I think what Johnny found will do the trick. Or at least get it closer.

    The offset shafts will add just under 1 degree of camber change on most. The least I've ever had a set move is about 11/16 °.

    Good luck hope they work for you!
