The GSF RCF bushings are in a bracket already.

Pretty sure he wasn’t talking about oem bushings being press in. Maybe something aftermarket reusing the factory bracket

Default Question on offset

Originally Posted by aj2pointo
The offset is what changes the steering weight. +20' (the ' sign means "minutes") is equal to +0.33° of caster angle, which in the scheme of things is still quite small. In general, increased positive caster will make the steering feel heavier, increase high speed stability (more self-centering effect), and improve tire contact while turning at speed. I am not quite sure what you mean by "turn quality", but increasing the caster on modern cars with power steering typically doesn't really any drawbacks unless you go so extreme (as in like adding 5°) to where the above mentioned factors start to become negatives, so like the steering becomes so heavy its too hard to drive or is "dull". So if you were to go with the GS F bushings in the 0' offset, it would make the steering feel more responsive like I was describing above, but it wouldn't necessarily feel any heavier. As a side note, the RR Racing USRS bushings are based off of the OEM's +20' offset design, so thats why they increase the steering weight as well.
sorry to re activate the chat but +20 for the rcf bushing would INCREASE POSITIVE angle on caster? meaning if i were to use the +20 bushing on the LEFT side given my alignment below, it would INCREASE caster positive angle +.33? meaning 8.33 on left wheel caster? and also should i use the -20 bushing on the right wheel if thats the case to bring caster back down to factory spec? (instead of using the +20 on the left to increase caster above spec recommendation)
