Jimny Castor correction 4" lift

I'm about to fit a 4" lift to my jimny. I'm wondering how drivable the jimny will be without castor correction? I do have correction bushes thanks to mugginsmoo however, fitting them may be a little way off as I have to find someone close enough to press the bushes in for me. Remeber that the jimny is basically the same as a coily sierra.

I understand that it will feel vague on the road, but just how bad? Is it tollorable or dangerous is the general question. Have others on here run a similar setup without the correction?

Cheers all for any info.

hi bud

it will be a pain in the ass to drive (to a point) as in having to control the vehicle and not just drive it as you do now.
it gets worse with bigger tyres too, with them not changing the castor but the more flex in the sidewall + castor = messy ride.

you can burn the old bushes out if you cant find a press.

or chop and rotate the knuckles to suit and sell the bushes.

cheers mate. Someone else has just told me that I might be able to press them out using a good vise. He reckons that they aren't that hard to get out. I'll only find out I suppose.
