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

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.
