Will you guys post a picture of the caster correction bushes? Are they the ones located inside the front leading arms?

PS: The Merriam Webster Dictionary reckons it's spelt "caster" whilst the Oxford English Dictionary speaks of "castor", so I've given them equal air time...

Yes Christo, that's where they fit.

They are non-concentric, in other words the hole is not in the middle, it is off-centre.

They then need to be fitted in the correct orientation. The front one is fitted with the hole closest to the top of the bush, while the back one is fitted with the hole closest to the bottom. In this way, the axle is effectively rotated slightly within the control arms.

Pretty difficult to photograph.
