You can get Whiteline caster adjustable replacement bushes for the standard Silicone filled bush. This will tighten up the steering responce.

Available from most tuners (got mine from RSP), or someone like Deamon Tweaks etc.

Driftworks sell complete adjustable rose jointed arms (gets rids of the sloppy silicon bushes) for £120
my mate fitted mine for me (easy job, just set them to same length as the standard arm and bolt them on)

I've heard the rose jointed ones wear out very quickly like 10,000 miles .

Andy W does an exchange service for stock arms with stock bushes , new bushes make a huge difference on their own

The cheapest option we do is replacement bushes in Polyurethane. Non adjustable but light years ahead of leaking stock ones.

£54.99 for a set of two delivered.

i've always found the stock ones to be good quality, most of the time the ones i've replaced are over 10 years old
