Hi, i've lifted my Rangie 3", and the front diff angle has changed more than i expected, any ideas as to correction bushes in Sydney. I've spoken to a few suppliers and no one carries a rangie bush set.
Interested in an "on car adjustable one" from Snake Racing, but as yet no time frame as to when it will be ready for use.
Any help or ideas
Thanks

Hi I had them in my rangie & ended up with vibration, my mate used them & ended cracking the mounts as there is little flex in the bushes. The only right way to do it is get your swivel hubs machined to correct the carster. If you still have vibration you need a cardan joint type tailshaft.

Cranked front radius arms are not sumthing a suspension mob will do for you but i guess it dont hurt to ask.
I got Rovertym fronts cranked to suit a 4" lift in mine and I am very very happy with them.... but they not cheap and for alot less you may be able to get yours cranked in a press then you weld a peice of sheet metal to the sides for extra stregth (not needed but the rovertym ones have this)
http://www.rovertym.com <- based in europe me thinks
Ahmm...... thats a lot more substantial than a bit of sheet metal. Sheet will be useless. Plate it. ADR's I think make these illegal anyway.
A mate has just had the swivel hubs rotated by Overkill at Waitara on his Defender with a 3" lift. He reports it drives really well now. This seems to be the way to go.

ive had a 4" lift in my county for 18 months and 30,000 kms and NO caster bushes. i thought i would need them, however apart from a bit of light steering once every blue moon i cant feel the difference. the tyres arent wearing unevenly or anything. i know it sounds nuts, but try it without the bushes first. 
as for severe vibration i got this in my old defender 7" lift when i had castor correction plates which gave me too much castor. i made some more and all was ok.

From memory ARB used to make the offset bushes, but they were never popular.
Do a search on cranked arms, there plenty thats been posted before. You should find HSVRangie's pinion angle pics.
And I'm pretty sure welded arms like Rovertym's are illegal in NSW. So just getting the hubs machined is a good option.

how much did this cost you in the end ? ?
Well under 2k all up. Even less when you consider I sold both front and rear diffs w/lockers and the 5 wheels.
All said and done, including the sale of the old stuff and the purchase of a new air locker to suit the GQ, $1500.

Great .. thanks Max. I've got a set of Old man Emu caster correction bushes ... I hope they differ from the unpopular ARB ones.
Gollywog, These are brand new, complete with instructions and can be yours for only $50 plus freight/postage from Qld to Sydney. I think they are for the later model front radius arms (eg late 80's). At that price you could give them a go and see how they turn out ... not much to lose.
