Castor Bearings

Post by sootygu »

I have a GU with 3" lift and recently had a wheel alignment, it requires 2 degrees castor correction to bring back to standard. They suggested using offset castor bearings.

Has anyone used these or know if they are any good. Where can they be purchased from.

Cheers

You need some tools and a press to replace them.

castor bearings and bushes are different things. the castor bearings replace the standard trunion bearings with a new bearing in an eccentric cup. they work well. usually alignment places will use them to add slightly more castor to the LH side to offset the pull of the road camber. by clocking them at different angles you can correct camber and castor in the one hit. they are a good product.
