Based on the number of parts that originate from down under I would surmise that Snowbum is an Aussie, so first of all, welcome to the forum. Busta's comment that Snowbum does the same sort of thing that he does is well of the mark as getting lost in the outback is not just a short walk to a local farm asking for a tow out, it really is a matter of life and death which is why Snowbum wants to build the ultimate " get me out of here" Jimny.

I would be interested in your before and after figures for your correction bushes. As soon as it stops raining and the blue tits have fledged, I will take some measurements and see if my memory is still active enough to work out the present caster angle.

Negative 1.2° before correction, positive 1.1° after.
The only suspension work between the two measurements was the removal of the arms, OEM bushes pressed out, OMECA001 bushes pressed in and the arms reinstalled.
The first measurement, before fitting the bar and the suspension was positive 2.1°
