I don't have exact measurement, however the center line of the bolt hole is about 1/3 of the diameter. You can pick up about 3 to 4 degrees of caster with them.

I installed a set last spring. Still need more caster, so I shall be purchasing a set of tubular upper control arms sometime.

I'd say it's 3-5 mm off center. Yes, you get about 2-4 deg more +caster than stock. I run mine at +3 or 4 caster and -1 camber.

Thx

We have a crowd over here that started making replacement bushes

Lathe turned metal pieces - cast in RUBBER R600 per set of 4 ~ $80 offset slightly more expensive

I did a quick measurement on my MOOG offset bushings. They are 3 mm off center, +/- about 0.5 mm error.
