Default fixing caster?

i got a leveling kit for my 94 and it sits real nice but the caster is way off, took it to an alignment shop and they said they could fix it by putting the new bushings in it but they said they couldn't get the ball joints out so i need all new ball joints before i can get the caster fixed, is there an easy way for me to measure how much the caster is off so i know which adjustable bushings to buy and install myself and take it back to them for the final adjustment? so many choices when i look m up. has someone done this? thnx

You need camber bushings, not caster. Just get some fully adjustable bushings, the shop should ave told you how far it was off. Some 0-4 deg bushings should be plenty.
