offset castor bushes...any good?

Post by eighty8 »

Do offset castor correction bushes hold up ok, or do they wear out pretty easily?.
Gotta replace my originals as they are gone and just wondering if it's worth getting the correction bushes or nissan bushes with correction plates to siut a 3in lift.

cheers...

runing c-c bushes in a 79 series ute and a GU wagon. The bushes work ok in the 79 but bind the GU's front up pretty bad. Probably an overkill with 3" of lift but if you are serious drop boxes or arms would be my choice. If you poke around on this site you'll find good info on this topic

Whether they last I can't say after only 12 months but the car steers a lot better.

I have castor bushes with 3" lift and if I were doing it over I would be factoring in the cost of castor correction plates instead. It's not so much the wear issue (I haven't had them long enough to say anything about that) - it's the fact that they are not a serious way of correcting castor.

This is not legal advice.

A 3" lift isn't a serious lift either, I had 2" without them then went to 3" & needed them, if I was going for plates, mights as well go 4" or 5" lift :)

Have never had a problem with the OME ones. although do recommend plates for major castor correction, bushes will normally only correct about 2 degrees. anything over 2-3inchs plates defeneltely. How much castor do you have?????
