Wedges
I am trying to find castor wedges to fit a 60 series cruiser with 4" suspension lift. The lift has made it so my rear tailshaft is too long.
Can anyone let me know where I can get them.

Re: Wedges
castor wedges won't help your driveshaft being too long... they'll only stop the uni's binding and ripping out a pinionmercury6 wrote:I am trying to find castor wedges to fit a 60 series cruiser with 4" suspension lift. The lift has made it so my rear tailshaft is too long.

but ARB sells them, as does snake racing/big balls offroad

spring lift
when i put extended shackles in mine ive had too shorten the front and rear shafts by 30mm. All the spring wedges will do is allow your sterring to be corrected to the correct castor, you will need to find some one with a digital wheel aligintment machine to tell you, the degree of castor is out, then you you can grab the correct castor plates.
come on move over and let the 75 through
i'd say so, to aleviate the increase in driveshaft angle, but you'll either need to run a driveshaft with a CV joint, or angle your Tcase down a bit, so the diff pinion, and the output shaft of hte T case are roughly paralelofr57 wrote:sorry for the highjack but ... when i lift my transfer case in my suzuki i still have to put wedges in am i correct?
not that i know shit about zooks... so i might be miles off

Rears could prove benificial in improving pinion angle as will fronts but fronts may cause greaters steering issues with castor angle than they solve in pinion angle. A compromise issue me thinks...ofr57 wrote:sorry for the highjack but ... when i lift my transfer case in my suzuki i still have to put wedges in am i correct?

there is no point angleing the transfer case because if you angle the front down then the rear angle will be worse and vice versa. cutting knuckles seems like the only possible total solution. But I would only want/let a very experienced fabricator do something like that.bad_religion_au wrote:i'd say so, to aleviate the increase in driveshaft angle, but you'll either need to run a driveshaft with a CV joint, or angle your Tcase down a bit, so the diff pinion, and the output shaft of hte T case are roughly paralelofr57 wrote:sorry for the highjack but ... when i lift my transfer case in my suzuki i still have to put wedges in am i correct?

thanks for the advice fellas ... might have to wait abit longer till i do this now though

my angling of the t case was only in reference to keeping the pinion and output shaft paralel. otherwise it'll vibrate without a CV joint in there.muppet_man67 wrote:there is no point angleing the transfer case because if you angle the front down then the rear angle will be worse and vice versa. cutting knuckles seems like the only possible total solution.

the front doesn't matter so much, as it's usually only engaged doing slow stuff

Re: Wedges
go to your local 4x4 wreckers and get a tail shaft from a fj 55 there the exact length you need and same splinemercury6 wrote:I am trying to find castor wedges to fit a 60 series cruiser with 4" suspension lift. The lift has made it so my rear tailshaft is too long.

mad mk patrol go hard or go home
tailshaft
I have tried with a FJ55 Tailshaft the one I was given from a FJ55 was in fact longer than the FJ60

Re: tailshaft
whoever you got it off gave you the wrong one, have done this mod numerous time's with my own 60 and also on mate's 60'smercury6 wrote:I have tried with a FJ55 Tailshaft the one I was given from a FJ55 was in fact longer than the FJ60
