Title: superpro ALK bushes - alignment
Post by: jimk04 on December 19, 2012, 09:09:27 am: I now have some Superpro bushes, not the entire console, just the eccentric bushes.

What is the best orientation for them....added castor, anti lift, or aa combination of the 2?

Thanks

Alex what is the orientation of that console in the photo and which side.

I see it looks like it is just round from being at the full left\right of centre setting.?

There's lot of freedom to orientate them to your needs. What do you want from them?

I'd press them in with the excentic hole outwards for maximum caster. :wink:
