Cause the only way worth doing is slotting the swivel hubs. offset bushes flog out and they use plates on jappers (nissan etc) cause you just can't drop the swivel hubs off nice and easy like we can
Wanted: Car trailer or beaver tail truck, let me know what you got

i made some years ago when i gave my offender a 6 inch lift. the extra bolt touched on the top of the forged arm, and if i lifted the bolt any higher i got death wobbles over 50kms. in other words castor correction plates crank the angle around too much even on the minimum setting.
