Cruiser Castor bushes

Post by glenndini »

G'day,
My '91 cruiser has about 3 inches of lift and is running 315/75/16s. I have a set of urethane 2 degree castor bushes but haven't fitted them yet. I'm worried about the chance of cracking the diff housing with these stiffer than OEM bushes.
It drives pretty good so I haven't been too bothered but since they are sitting there I would like to see if there's much improvement after fixing the castor.
Have many here fitted these type bushes and had/not had this problem?
cheers,

Gday
Ive used bushes before and while the fix the caster, they bind up articulation...and if you wheel alot, will crack the housing. A real easy way to do exactly what the 2 deg bushes would do is to take one arm off at a time and elongate the front hole 14mm, and align, then put washers on each front bolt and tack in place once in position...
