Offset bushes are normally used if the chassis rails are twisted/bent , also used for manual steering boxes.

Hey Brutus
Now you've got me worried"twisted or bent chassis", :? i do have power steering though.
Thinking about it i think my chassis is straight and original after all the work i've put into it over the years.

Hey , not trying to worry you :D , they were possibly fitted for castor/camber adjustments over the stock settings.

Shims were also used to reduce bump steer, even on straight legs:thumbright:

Offset bushes are good. Means more castor and camber, assuming you fitted them the right way.

And thses cars need more castor!
