yea i dont think you need caster corrected bushes AND arms, the arms are carter corrected so id think normal bushes will be fine. dont the arms come with bushes? ring ORA they will help further.
probably pointless giving it to a garage, specially as we're all pretty certain its a caster issue.
anything over a 2"lift needs caster correction, the 2.5" ORA lift kit comes with CC bushes, CC arms are recomended for 3"+ lifts.

4x CC radius arms from ORA = £780
full set super pro bush set = £368.40 (im sure cheaper bushes are available)
tota = £1148.40
prices subject to P&P.
not a cheap issue to rectify :ohmy:
i personaly would have a really good look under your truck to try figure out what exactly has been fitted before you go ahead and buy anything.
another option (which id probably do in your situation) is to purchase this kit . i think this comes with everything needed APART from bushes. the chances are whoever lifted your jimny didnt do any of the other things to make it drive properly.you can then sell the lift kit thats on your truck currently to make abit of the money back

EDIT: just read abit more on the ORA site and you can use factory bushes in the CC arms.
i think you may still need other things for a 3"+ lift, longer/adjustable panhard rods are needed to realign the axles with the chassis, extended brake lines (you probably have these tho), prop spacer, need to re position the brake load valve thingy.
once everything is sorted it'll be seriously capable

Steering wheel is about 4-5pm in a straight line. Is it worth getting aligned? The caster bushes Ive already got apparently and are fairly new and offset. So I guess I may need to get some caster arms? The brake lines are new and extended. I just want to make it a bit safer handling on road. Thanks for helping guys any of you near Worcester or hereford want to show me what the hell I've got and what I'm doing lol?
