So, I've looked and I can't seem to find an answer... What is so dramatically different about the 968 caster block that no one seems to have tried just putting a polyurethane bushing in the stock one? It seems odd to me that there are rubber, poly and monoball bushings for the front of the control arm, but there doesn't seem to be anything between 968 updated units and monoballs for the caster block. Either I've just missed the poly ones (if so, someone please tell me where to get them) or there aren't any. Can someone please explain that to me?

I don't believe poly caster blocks are available.

Well the problem with the stock blocks is the amount of rubber. Even a new one can be deflected by hand. The 968 block is the "in between" block IMO.


Oh and I don't think there is any poly mounts for the stock blocks. IIRC a few people have done poly 968 mounts.

I don't know why I never thought of these guys before... The vast majority of the bushings on my Alfa are from Powerflex
