| Post subject: | Jimny castor |
Hey guys, This is a post I made from another topic I'm looking for some more answers I have a 2inch efs lift and 235/75r15 Had the crazy death wobble, replaced left front wheel bearing ( broken) and king pin bearings wheel balance and alignment Got heaps better. Still shimmying around and hard to drive on the highway. Fitted a RTC and it's a little better. When I had the alignment done it was noted that it had neg castor angle. My question is this, Positive castor is better yes? Do I need to change the rear bushes as well as the front? What brand does everyone recommend and where can I get them? How much degree should I be looking at? thanks guys. Sorry for the repost, |

Yes you want positive castor. The Jimny Standard could nilly use the castor correction as from the factory it wasnt great. And Bushes that correct the caster are fine. i used poly bushes and like them and they wear well/strong. They are all set up to pretty much adjust it the same amount. Rear bushed to not need to be changed as the wheels do not turn Bushes: http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_trks ... &_from=R40 |

Grototech I see you have sold your Jimnybits arms. How much positive catsor did they give you? What lift did you have? Mike |

I never actually measured. but they would estimate to be about double what the offset bushs give you. But the big plus was they pushed the diff forward a little more than a 1" i have 3inch lift. |

Thanks. I will do some measuring in case the shims don't give me the result I need. |
