OME castor kit yes/no ??

[Coldcomfort]

Hi all, GU8 is going in next week to get the OME suspension kit installed. I'm opting for the 2cm lift. The sales guy at ARB reckons that there is no need for the castor kit for a 2cm lift. I am quite happy with the guys at ARB here in the Alice so far so I am tending to go with what he reckons. I just thought that I would run it past the people out here in the un-biased Nissan world for some opinions.....

Cheers all. :smiley_thumbs_up:

I assume you means 2 inch lift (5cm) and caster correction will not be required. You will be happy with the upgrade

[Maxhead]

Yep, no need for castor correction for 2inch lift

[Coldcomfort]

Yep, sorry 2 inch lift.... Thanks guys.

Depends on the Car, I put 2'' OME lift in my Patrol and it put castor out by nearly 3.5 Deg. I would try it with out them first. If it feels good, then dont worry about them. But if feels light in the steering and wants to wander on the highway, then get them done.

Cheers

From what I understand, with a 2" lift you are close to the castor limit, therefore, castor correction is advised but may not be necessary.

I had ARB install the OME 2" lift in my 03 GU Patrol. The guys here in Hobart said that it did not require the castor kit and I have had no issues with it at all.

I'm getting a 2" Ironman lift in a week and they have told me that there is no need for castor correction kit.
Cheers.

GU8 I fitted a 2" OME kit with polyairs in the rear around 6mths ago no caster correction fitted, it has a tad more wonder at hwy speed just fitted some 285 75 16 KM2's so feels different again now.

No

You shouldn't need it but you can always put it in afterwards if you think you do

I put 2 inch OME in January and 285 75 16 MT Muddies last month, no castor correction drives great.

I had a 2" lift done by ARB Shepparton and did need a castor correction. 2001 gu series 2

I put a 2inch lift in my 2006 gu4, didn't do castor straight away, about 6 months later I decided to do the correction because it felt like it was a little vague in the steering, when it was done I noticed the difference straight away, much better.

It's amazing how different people's experience's are....
