    Cast o line bushes

    Hi guys,
    This has been debated before, but I still don't find a satisfactory answer.
    Part of the deal when I bought my 2011 patrol was for the dealership to correct a pretty heavy pull to the left. Their mechanic initially tried to get out of it by telling me that all cars pull heavily to the left in case you fall asleep to avoid head ons!!! At 100km/hour I would go off the road after app 1 second if I let go of the wheel. As I disagreed with the mechanic, Fulchrum was contacted to give an independent opinion. They deemed it unacceptable and potentially dangerous. A cast o line kit was fitted and everything was fine. I have now done 12000 kms and the car goes straight as and arrow without any shudder. When talking to others 4WD owners some of them tell me that the diff will soon start to give me big problems as the kit isn't the best thing.
    Any thoughts?

    Rubbish. I have had a Castoline race kit fitted for 150,000kms. They are without logic. Rubbish. The kit is simply a king pin bearing race. The car doesn't even know it's their. They must be from face book.....

    Enjoy mate.

    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.

    You need to make sure you rotate your tyres regularly and it's a great mod.

    They just straighten the angle on the left wheel dont they? To stop the inside wear of the tyre?

    Serves you right for listening to them...
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
