    Drop box or super flex???

    I've got 4inch lift in my gu n I'm experiencing wobbles at 80kph, pulling to the left yet the steering wheel is slightly right hand down... Steering wheel was at qtr turn n had 3shops try to adjust it n align it but still not happy... Got adj panhards n drag link... I've had a lot of opinions on what I should do... From bushes to drop boxes to super flex arms to some fancy offset bearings... Any ideas???

    Did your 4 inch lift come with castor correction if it didn't you will need bushes drop boxes or super flex arms but a 80km wobble is kind of a patrol thing hopefully someone else has more info. Did te wobble start before or after the lift

    I'm not going by personal experience just what I have read

    Castor correction - no good for anything over 3 inch lift
    Dropboxes - More bitumen than off road
    Superflex - more off road than bitumen

    I'm sure some of the guys with more experience will see your post soon and be able 2 help you out more

    The bearing thing was to stop it pulling left... I'm not sure of the terminology but I will try my best to explain... It was at caloundra suspension n exhaust when I was quoted 600 to supply n fit.... The cradle or housing for the bearings is slightly egg shaped and thicker on one side than the other which as u rotate it the camber is slightly adjusted???? I dunno I'm a bloody plasterer not a mechanic... Also the back wheels are not tracking the same as front??? Is that adj through the panhard???

    That is adjustment of Panhards.

    I would go dropboxes, but that is me..... Reasoning is that it puts the diff and driveline closer to the factory settings, and the flex will be similar angles to factory too.

    Drop boxes or extended arms if you got the coin, Doesn't have to be super flex arms there are others out there, unless you're after shiploads of flex then go the superflex. Yup the panhards adjust how its tracking at the rear also

    IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK
