50 Ford Caster and Camber bushing tools 3089-N, 3046-N
Hi,
I am working on a 1950 custom convertible and I need to find alignment tools to use on the bushings. I need a 3089-N wrench lower caster and I also need a 3046-N upper camber wrench. Wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase one of each. I am going to fabricate some if I cant find any but i would prefer to buy correct tool. I live in Missouri. Thank you and have a great day, Jaydee |

They are not hard to make, pretty simple job.

I guess that's what I will do this weekend. Just finishing up a rewire and 12 volt conversion. Going through everything to get it road worthy. Been a fun project

I know this is an old thread but I have not been able to find the wrench size needed to fabricate the above mentioned tools. Could anyone provide sizes and any suggestions regarding these tools? Also can the adjustments be made with regular wrenches ,without the necessity of making the replica wrenches?

It was a long time ago, but i recall complete disassembly, and reassembly without any special tools. There is nothing delicate about a shoebox front suspension.

Made my own tooling out of 1/4" steel plate.

A person may be able to find a crow foot wrench thin enough to fit.

That's a great suggestion. It can be made thin enough if necessary. Thanks

BTW, would anyone know what size wrench(s) is/ are necessary for adjusting the upper and lower eccentric bushings? I don't have current access to measure them myself. Thanks for any additional help.

The lowers are about 1.2" Of course, YMMV. Last edited by Eric T; 12-04-2021 at 01:04 PM. |

For those interested, '49-'51 Mercury, both are (1 5/16) hex.
