6 inch lift castor plates

Post by muddy80s »

hi just fitted 6 inch suspention lift to my 80 looks tuff .but ive got castor plates ready to be fitted .my question is. ive already got castor bushes fitted to my radius arms do i need to go back to standard bushes to fit the castor plates.also ive asked the question before about castor pos/neg have been told that castor plates give too much positive castor in 6 inch lift but was also thinking if i reverse the bushes to give negative castor and fit the plates aswell will this give me a better castor correction thanks muds

you need to put standard bushes back in, and the plates will give you barely enough correction for a 6" lift. the problem is that with bushes + plates the tierod will not clear the control arms. they only way to get truly adequate castor correction on an 80 with a big lift is to 5-link the front, or go to a front high steer arm.
