Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok... About to install a 3" lift to my GU4 patrol.

I'm getting castor correction bushes as I've been told I should need to fit them (and searching around here seems to suggest it).

Question is, are they easy to get the angles correct etc, or am I better to get someone to fit them for me? I'm on the OK side with the spanners, but I'm not sure how to setup the castor correctly.

I had a search, but couldn't find any info.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Tone.

Instructions normally come with the bushes, but you'll need a hell press to get the old ones out and the new ones in.

Cheers, Jeff.

Definately need castorbushes for 3 inch and definately need a press and know where to put the offset to get the desired result

cheers ute mad

Get rubber bushes for starters - and as a note, any bush over 2.5 degrees you'll lose flex.

If you're keen to have a go yourself, it can be done fairly easily - new bushes usually come with instructions on how to set up angles etc.

You can remove the old bushes without a press - need an oxy torch, air hacksaw and a air chisel

burn guts of bush out with oxy
use air hacksaw to cut into steel outer sleeve
use air chisel to push out (and clean up any burrs afterwards)

Stick your new bushes into the freezer the day before, helps them go in easier. Just position them over the holes in the arms, give them a light tap to get seated and put a large socket/drift over the new bush (preferrably the same size as the steel outer casing - truck sockets work well) and hammer away until they're in!

Thanks all.

I've got access to press, oxy, freezer (liquid Nitrogen good enough ?? ), etc... so I should be ok in that department.

It's just the setting on the angles that concerns me. I feel more confident given the replies - I'll just wait until I get the kit and then assess if it's within my mental capacity to set the angles correctly.

Any idea what I should expect to pay to get them fitted, if I choose not to do it myself - remember that I will be supplying the bushes.

Cheers!

at most, $50 bucks to get them fitted - or offer beer.. usually works
