Ok who can I contact in regards to double cardon driveshafts for my RR?
Also who in the gold coast area would be best to see about getting all my castor angles corrected?
cheers

Discovery II driveshafts are ideal for this. If you want them painted bright orange you can buy them from Scorpion Racing for lots of money, or you can just get them from wreckers cheap. I think around $200 is reasonable.

yep disco fronts.
you neeed the pinion flanges aswell.
Castor:
3 options:
1: crank font arms.
2: redrill swivel housings.
3: fit castor correction bushes (worst option only works on 50-75mm lift.)
Correct drive shaft alignment.

Front drive shaft disc 2 is d/cardan.
I did my own front arms.

Apparently there is a place called Core (something like that) in Brisbane that crank linkages to any custom sorts. Has anyone got any feedback on them for me?
I am bringing my RR up around five inches, I have already sorced the front Disco2 driveshaft and flange (i think, the guy is gonna let me know how much tommorow) and reinforcedball joint and ball joint spacer are already in my posetion. Now I just gotta sort out the rear drive shaft and cranking my front linkages and also my rear lower linkages.

This is probably not feasable but would it be possible to use 4 camber bolts to re-adjust the castor ( presuming you could get them the correct size and lenght ) rather than castor correction bushes, I know you would not be adequate for a big lift but they would not effect travel. I have never heard of this so expect it would not work.

We have jig to machine the knuckles to the desired deegrees.You could send them down and we would machine them and send them back.

Anthony,
with the lift you are talking about running IMO you should set the diff up to run a d/cardan joint. ( Pinion pointing at T/case out put).
Crank arms to do this and to reset the rad arm to chassy bush back to std.
Then have castor checked and then relocate swivel housing to correct.
This will give the best and most reliuable setup plus it willl be drivable.
Michael.
