Renee, to increase caster, we use offset a-arm bushings rather than altering the a-arms. Offset upper polyurethane bushings plus stacking all the shims on one side will give about 3-1/2 degrees of caster. Adding a second pair of offset bushings to the lower a-arms will give in total about 4.5+ degrees. Shaving one side of the steel upper ball joint carrier by 0.100" with give in total about 6+ degrees, all without touching the a-arms. Remember, as caster goes up, steering effort also goes up although its only evident to most drivers at parking-lot speeds..


Where can I find these offset a-arm bushing, do you have a reference?
Yhank you
