The Non-Syncro's should be set up the same way. They are a bit more tolerant because the stamped steel control arm can bend. Also, there are two different types of bushings. They were upgraded a number of years ago due to frequent failures. They later ones have a black end cover instead of the white plastic. Also, I have come across some after market bushings that are pure garbage.
