so i bought a set of castor corrected bushings for my coily with a 40mm spring lift but when i took the front arm off I couldn't get the old rubber bushings out.
Is a press needed to remove them or is there a trick I haven't figured out yet?
Cheers, Kent

Press is the only way to go! Make sure the socket or thing u use to press old ones out is the same or a touch smaller than the metal outercasing of the original bush! If you tear the rubber with the metal casing still in the arm it's a pain.

I am going to be doing a 40mm lift on my coily in the near future, do i need worry about caster correction?
Also is the ebay lift kit worth getting?
Cheers

well i havent got them in yet but once i done my suspension lift i felt the castor was effecting the steering. not badly but it was there.
Best thing I bought was the return to centre steering dampener of ebay.
Makes mud tyres on the high way muuuch nicer
