Systems and methods for misalignment adjustment utilizing double eccentric bushings

A double eccentric bushing arrangement, comprising:

• a first component;
• a first eccentric bushing comprising a first eccentric aperture and a first head flange;
• a second eccentric bushing comprising a second eccentric aperture, a second head flange and a second shaft portion extending from the second head flange, wherein the second eccentric aperture extends through the second head flange and the second shaft portion, and the first eccentric bushing is configured to receive the second eccentric bushing in the first eccentric aperture;
• a threaded fastener, the second eccentric bushing is configured to receive the threaded fastener in the second eccentric aperture;
• a washer configured to be received around a portion of the second eccentric bushing;
• and
• a snap ring configured to be received around the portion of the second eccentric bushing to secure the washer in an installed position and wherein the washer and the snap ring axially lock the second eccentric bushing within the first component with the first head flange against the first component.

A method for installing a component, comprising:

• disposing a first eccentric bushing comprising a first eccentric aperture and a first head flange into a first aperture disposed in the component;
• disposing a second eccentric bushing comprising a second eccentric aperture, a second head flange, and a second shaft portion extending from the second head flange, wherein the second eccentric aperture extends through the second head flange and the second shaft portion, into the first eccentric aperture;
• disposing a washer around the second eccentric bushing;
• disposing a snap ring around the second eccentric bushing to lock the washer in an installed position and wherein the washer and the snap ring axially lock the second eccentric bushing within the first aperture of the component with the first head flange against the component;
• rotating the first eccentric bushing with respect to the second eccentric bushing to align the second eccentric aperture with a fastening aperture of a support structure;
• and
• disposing a fastener through the second eccentric aperture to couple the fastener to the support structure via the fastening aperture.
