A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO i DID A COMPARISON OF THE AFTERMARKET ECCENTRICS TO THE ORIGINAL GM PIECES. THE DIFFERENCE IS LARGE AND YOUR ABILITY TO ALIGN THE FRONT END IS REALLY LIMITED WITH THE REPO STUFF. I ACTUALLY WENT TO THE JUNK YARD AND SEARCHED / SCAVANGED SOME OEM PIECES THAT WERE NOT WORN TO USE.
MAYBE HERE BUT MY PICTURES ARE GONE.

I think you are describing the caster/camber eccentric. John is asking about a special brake shoe anchor pin which is made with an eccentric for centering the shoes within the brake drum.
