Castor Correction

[Airstrike]

Has anyone put these in themselves is there any traps to look out for? or anything I need to do before, during or after?

Im in a last minute mechanic mood for this weekend coming up.

cheers

What form will the castor correction be in, offset bushes, drop arms, drop boxes, castor plates etc?

Oh very sorry in the drop arms. Im all over the road and today it almost killed me on the way out to Gatton

If the bushes are already in the new arms then the job is a lot easier, no need for a press.

If you are going to fit them on the ground I always remove the front springs first for safety, there is a lot of energy stored in a coil spring. Once the springs are out it's all just nuts and bolts. R/H end of the tie rod will need to be popped out to fit the arms.

You will need a decent set of chassis stands to support the front of the vehicle, I have a pair if you need to borrow them.

Do you have the new bushes in the drop arms?

Following a similar pattern to what we did last week, you reckon I'd be right with it? I'm reasonably confident and his springs are 3" (shorter than my old ones) so should be able to get them out and back in without compressors ..

You should be right Scott you know what to do and have my number if you're not sure about anything.
