A bushing formed of an outer body and an inner sleeve member adapted to rotate within the outer body, the outer body having a bore adapted to rotatably receive the inner sleeve member such bore being eccentric, i.e. offset and/or skewed, relative to the axis around which the outer surface of the outer body is generated, and the inner end member having a usually tapered bore similarly eccentric to the axis of the outer surface of the inner sleeve member such that the inner member may be rotated relative to the outer body with the eccentricity of the bore of the outer body and the bore of the inner member either being additive or cancelling such that the effective eccentricity of the inner bore may be adjusted to the outer surface of the outer body to provide, for instance, caster and camber compensating bushings for vehicles, and other similar eccentric bushing uses.

A bushing assembly having an infinitely variable eccentricity within a given range, the bushing assembly comprising: an outer body member having an outer body surface defined around a first axis, and an inner bore defined therethrough around a second axis eccentric to the first axis; and an inner sleeve member having an outer surface complementary in shape to the outer body member inner bore and defined around a third axis, and having an inner bore defined therethrough around a fourth axis eccentric to the third axis, the inner sleeve member being rotatably positioned within the bore of the outer body member, and at least one pair of the outer body pair of axis and inner sleeve pair of axis being in a skewed relationship; whereby the eccentricity of the inner sleeve member bore relative to the outer body member outer surface may be varied by rotating the inner sleeve member within the outer body member.
