Landcruiser 80 Castor Plates

Has anyone got any pics of their 80 with castor plates?

Checked the fitting instructions and it talks about grinding the bottom of the diff bracket off to get the top hole to align.......I assume that they are referring to the holes above the Original bolt position!

Just need some friendly advice before I get the grinder out :twisted:

Plug that grinder in :twisted:

Fitted a 3-4" inch lift on the 80 drove a few weeks and had the alignment checked, reading was -2deg, so I put some 5deg castor plates on yesterday.

Truck has a partime conversion and now drives very well in 2wd, no wander, but when I lock in to 4wd and drive THEN lift off I get a very bad vibration/noise.......no noise or vibration under load tho :confused:

Anyone any ideas????

Thanks

front shaft angles are now out and you need double cardon....

DOH!!!! I thought that might have been the case!!

Dow50r have you any web links for these and costs.......are they just a bolt out/in swap?
