I will probaly use a rubber bottom bushing with the serrates removed, do you think this would be a better option so I can address the caster issue?
Thanks for any input-

No, I mean the single lower control arm inner bushing on those cars..You shouldn't put in a bushing that doesn't allow fore and aft movement of the lower ball joint...for adjustment purposes.
The heim on the end of the strut....I'm not sure where we left off on that controversy.
