    As tempting it is to just fit the bushes...
    They only make 2 and 3 degree bushes, I'd just stick 3degree in and be done, its what you'll end up useing anyhow, but if you want to satisfy your own sense of curiosity, any wheel aligner will be able to tell you

    Castors bushes just don't last long enough.

    Slotted hubs are the permanent solution. And you have some adjustment in the castor specs. Bruce Davis gives lifted cars a little more, and more again on the passengers side.

    General rule of thumb is 1 degree for each 1" lift.
    Bare in mide if you go for a larger degree bush, it will put your front uni on some ugly angles and you may get some vibrations.

    Cheers,

    1 degree for every extra 1/2" of bumpstop clearance

    They last long enough

    Must say my swivels are rotated, but a mate set up a jig and milled them for me

    Hi,

    Les Richmond slot them for about $190 per ball from memory.

    I did mine myself with a jig made from chipboard, a slotting bit and a drill press. Even welded the flange up so there are holes, rather than slots. Whole thing took way less than a whole day and makes a huge difference to the way they handle.

    Which stops the dreaded pull to the left on heavily cambered roads.
