My experience with poly bushes is from the SJ and blade spring bushes only, but I do not like them there. Sand will grind them away faster than rubber and I want them softer for off road not firm for handling.
But now for the Jimny there's different shore firmness and different quality of course, and way easier to change as you say.
Still I chose rubber.

Hi Dave, that's exactly what I was going to do, installing the castor correction bushes in that orientation.

I could probably use 1.5" spacers instead of 2" which will give me the clearance for sure along with the castor correction bushes. I have seen those bushes online, I will order them.

yes I remembered seeing your company mentioned many, many times, I was disappointed to see your business closed.

Thanks for your reply and have a great evening.

Cheers.

Will try the bushes and maybe narrower spacers first, then trim fender flare and bumper if I have to.

Thanks for the replies Mate.

Cheers.

Would you guys believe this reply is from an Ebay vendor whom I was trying to get the rear castor bushes from?

ME:
Thanks for your reply. Please note that the photo in the listing reflects the wrong types of bushes per arm, its supposed be 4 of the flexible ones (axle side) and 2 of the solid ones (chassis side), I attached a pic for you to see.
Upon your reply, I will order 2 sets.
Thanks so much.

EBAY Vendor:
Company sell in that way only. I can make set for you but our set will get wasted. If you pay extra then I will give you according to your requirement.
Have to pay US 15.00 for 4 day shipping.

So in other words, I have to pay him to make his suppliers mistake right... WOW

Erm. I'd be looking for another alternative supplier especially if the postage is 15 bucks already.
