did you use copious amounts of the grease that came with them?
If not, pull the bushes out and use HEAPS.

I did with my rear LCA urethane bushes, not one squeak since i put them in.

More caster will give the car more stability, and the steering will come back to centre more easily, but the steering will be a bit heavier.

Your call.

my steering is pretty freakishly light even with 215/17's

it'll be even better again once i put the reco rack in with new ball joints & tie rod ends

So if i packed the front bush shaft with some washers would that be better or worse??
