Lowering a car or fitting wider tires can push camber out of the range an alignment shop can correct with factory parts. This offset bushing moves the arm's pivot point to give the technician more to work with, while also replacing the soft rubber that was there.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 3 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward.
Features

- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Camber adjustment: Designed to optimize camber alignment and offset the effect of body roll and tire roll in corners.
- Finish: The metal parts are powder coated for durability.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
