Steak_knife will love this question.
Suzisport sell Jimny castor correction bushes and I sent an email to find out if the were adjustable as my castor is slightly out due to a 40mm OME lift and I want to go back to factory settings and since I am replacing other bushes and fitting a stabilizer I thought I might as well get them done at the same time. Suzisport replied to my email that they are fully adjustable but before I fork out almost $200 I thought I ask first if anyone else has had them and how did they find them.
Cheers, Paul

I asked them e-mailed them about there bushs, and they couldn't even tell me how much off-set the bushs had.
I think the bushs on this page would be better

I fitted the suzisport ones in my jimny.
They are 2 degrees and are basically a 2-piece poly bush, with a non-adjustable metal sleeve that slots in.
You have to push the poly bush parts in from either side of the arm(with grease) and slot the metal sleeve in the inside.
Very easy to fit - I was pretty happy with mine.

Hmmm, they told me that they are fully adjustable but if they are a two degree correction castor then they not what I want.
Monkey, had a look at the 4wd1 site but they are 3 degree.

sorry didn't realize you had a 40mm lift, 2deg bushs should b good for the 40mm lift.

OK, thought even 2 degree might be too much. Thanks Monkey.

No worries mate!
And don't think you will be able to get anything less than 2deg.

Cheers, Paul Spoke to Derek from Suzisport and he confirmed that the ones advertised as adjustable are fully adjustable by rotating the metal sleeve.
