Your steering query.

Your castor wont help but you are getting a few small things happening that makes it feel that way.

You will be getting a small amount of rear steer. This is normal for a patrols rear suspension geometry. Your castor as you have said wont be helping. Also as your front left hand corner rises your steering arm will slightly alter in its position. So all very minor things that equate to what your feeling. You have a good chunk of torque now so you will be getting quite a bit of movement under hard acceleration.

I know your rear end is in good nic since you have just fitted all that new superior gear.

Haha, it's on here too.

That's what I believe is happening also, seems to have got worse after the Superior engine mount went in on the passenger side, which magnifies the chassis movement.

We loaded up and took off for a break today, the Patrol is full and the van is at least 3 Tonne so I was very interested to see how the temps go after the latest round of mods. Blasted up the hills at 80-90km/hr which last time saw me backing off as the factory gauge was hitting the very top of the normal range, this time, it didn'teven move. Super happy so far!!! Mods included new 3 core Rapid Cool radiator, UFI fan and fan hub some new coolant and the removal of the bonnet protector. Air temp is low 20's. Hopefully it continues like this.

Bonnet protector? Is that the sound deadner or the plastic strip over the nose of the bonnet?

Got sick of the standard radio, so decided to opt for something a little better. First brand name radio I've had in a car for many many years



Install was pretty straight forward, just a bit time consuming stuffing around with the rear camera, but in the end it came up pretty good. I'll have a better play with it tomorrow and see how it goes, but so far so good.

Hey mate. Quick Q regarding the install.
How did you go plugging the into the standard loom. Did you get a plug and play loom or was it a direct plug in setup.?

You can buy loom adaptors for this Kallen. Well for my older GU i could... I would assume its the same for the later U's.
