Not sure what I'm missing here but these are brand new for $186 plus you get $80 back when you return the old bracket?

Okay...I'm sorry for the confusion...I was wondering where the term "caster" is in relation to this item?

Am I missing something? Is the picture you attached the actual bushings for sale? Because those are not the offset bushings, just the OEM replacement ones.

it's named after the link posted above. i did not come up with it. everything I have sold on forums, craigslist, ebay I have titled them based on vendors' information. that's why a link is posted so you can read the details. thanks!

Not to keep bringing this up but the picture you've provided in the first thread is of the normal, Powerflex front control arm polyurethane bushing, not of the offset caster bushing kit. You can tell by the black section of the bushing and that your picture is not offset. That's why there's confusion.

These are the items you are selling...

https://www.waymotorworks.com/powerf...shing-kit.html

They are not the offset CAB you are advertising.

Per Way... "If ordering Pre pressed option, You will be charged $180 and when you return your cores we will promptly refund $80 for the cores, making the prepressed bushings only $100. If you have questions about this please call and ask. We use to not charge the core charge, but thanks to many customers either not returning them or waiting a long time we had to change to this policy, sorry."

t4r6n... He is not selling the bushings alone. He is selling the bushings already installed in the control arm brackets which saves a lot of hassle. (Believe me... I've tried to remove the bushing from the bracket and it is hard.) If you want the bushings alone for that price look online. If you want this setup pre-pressed and ready to go make astroblack an actual offer... and BTW from the pics these are still 'brand new'.

Pre-pressed is $100 new from wmw. Not trying to low ball but the incentive to buy used is a lower price than retail.

Meh... Not true really. New from WMW is $186 plus $12 shipping so $198. Way gives you $80 back when you return your old core brackets (down to $118 now) which you have to box and pay return shipping on as well (est $12-15). I'd say all said and done they would be about $130 to $135 shipped... that's if you even bother with returning the brackets.
Aaand... again. As you may have noticed above in my earlier post AND in the original sales post, these are still NEW units and have not been installed.
