Hi John,
Not stupid question. I found a web site that explains some alignment adjustments. But I want to shift upper ball joint farther toward the rear, for more positive caster. This should improve high speed handling. I already have the caster shims at upper joints all to the front side, thus the offset bushings allow for more of same, without machining some material off rear side of ball joint.

I talked to Marino about a month ago and he said he makes the offset
bushings whenever someone want them.

Hi all,
I'm in need of a set of control arm bushings and want fronts to be
of
the off set style. Control arms would now not have any thing
installed.
It appears that Marino no longer handles the Pantera control arm
bushings.
Who handles such at present and what are some of my choices as to
material. Use plans are for street, road race, and maybe some
autocross
or track.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
