    Funny thing is my car pulls to the left. I rang Pro Axle today to discuss it and they told me that an RTC is the only real answer. Offset knuckle bearings work they said but are smaller in diameter than the OEM bearing and they have seen a few crush under the weight of larger tyres so they don't recommend using them. So mines booked in on Thursday to see what they can do. So I may be eating my words on Thursday. Lol.

    I have had the Safe-T-Steer offset King Pin bearing fitted to the top bearin on the left side of the GUIV for 5 years and 150,000 kms running 33s and 35s. Rate it as one of the best mods done to the car. As 3dogs states the pull left problem is due to the Camber of our roads and is not a manufacturers defect. I reckon 3Dogs is spot on with his responses here. A RTC is just hiding the issue. IMO.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Well ... it's done ... i'm poor, and our Patrol looks amazing!
    Gained about 75mm on the back and slightly less on the front

    Before and After - sunlight is a bit naff, so hard to see the lift, but snorkel is looking nice

    Hahaha it's actually pretty dirty! Half the beach washed off the Patrol onto it - hoping for some rain to clean the drive and gutter of all the sand!
