The haynes is designed with eccentric mushrooms which help with the self centring of the steering which is vital for the iva test.

They look offset just check its the correct ammount

They look fine, as you rotate them the offset will increase (usually need them fully forward) then set the camber with the drag link.

Calipers look nice......

I was going to say that the correct amount is a function of the rotation + camber adjustment.

But Spud beat me to it

They look concentric to me too, but I think the consensus is that eccentric is desirable, but not a big deal really.

The effect on the self centreing is minimal, that's mostly set by the caster, which the offset mushrooms have no effect on.
