Has anyone replaced these in the 3GS?

Why do you want to adjust your caster? If it is off by a little its no big deal, as it does not wear your tires out.

This is not the point -
The factory caster arm bushings are what I suspect is the cause of our inside edge tire wear problem.
When the caster arm bushing is worn, it causes the wheels to toe out under braking which will cause the exact issue we have.
If someone has a camera they can mount to the fender, I bet we could see the wheel toeing out under braking.
Toe settings will cause much faster wear than camber will.
