[DeTomaso] Any experience with Marino's offset control arm bushings to increase caster?

[Ken Green]

Chuck,

    Marino said they only provide maybe one additional degree of caster.  Did you do something more than just make one end thinner?  Seems like you can only get maybe 1/8 inch (1/4 inch total) of shifting?  I'm not sure what the separation between ball joints is, but that looks like less than 2 degrees of added caster?

Ken

   Dear Ken,

               1) no experience with Marino's offset bushings

              2)  The offset homemade bushings I have provide 5 degrees of
   positive caster with major improvement in handling and high speed
   stability.  Highly recommended

              3)   Marino is a good guy and a reliable, reputable vendor
   in my opinion.

                                Go buy'em,   Chuck Engles
