I use them all the time. Yes they work and can be used when lowering the car to even out the tie rods.

ok I ordered the offset bushings, the hole diameter is 3/4id and my sleeve is 7/8 od.  I ordered for a mustang I guess, the tbird sleeves dont fit.  Can i get mustang sleeves or go to hardware store and get something?  I figuered they were the same for both cars.

Ok I talked with Kevin from energy suspension and he explained to me what happen.  The 83 models have a different style metal sleeve, so he said it was ok to get some round tube (steel) and make my own bushing sleeve.  Worked out good.  I got the rack mounted today.
