    Hello All,

    I have a 2017 Prius that has Caster sitting at 5.7 (left) and 5.8 (right) decimal degrees whereas the spec is 6.1 to 7.6. I happened to hit a speed bump hard recently and I suspect that to be the reason for the Caster going out of spec. There's now more wandering on the highway as well. Looks like the bushings similar to those @jzchen used in the below thread (on a 2012 V) might add 0.5 degrees bringing my car into spec and hopefully help with the wander issue as well. Anyone knows if the 2017 Prius (non-V) would be as labor intensive as the 2012 V that @jzchen did it on. Also, a quick Google search isn't turning up a similar bush kit for the 2017 Prius. Anyone knows if such a kit is available for the 2017?
