Caster bushings

Being that I'm not personally all that well versed in suspensions and steering, would two of these Moog bushings be all I need to have an alignment shop adjust my 04 to 5.5 degrees (or more) of caster? I'm currently slightly over 4 degrees and it's maxed out. It isn't horrible, but it does have a little wander.

If your balljoints are maxed out then you would want to use a 1.5* wedge between the axle and springs.

However at 4* of caster you likely have another issues causing your wander, 5.5* will help mask it somewhat but you should really find, fix and repair the worn parts causing the wander.
