Just a question on lifting my defender . On my last defender i had the swivels slotted so i could stop the vibrations from the uni's as they werent happy because the car was lifted 50mm . Was just wondering if fitting caster correction radius arms would ( should ) do the same thing because i could fit these myself on the new project. Thanks guys .

Yep would do the same thing but new radius arms would be a far bigger hit on the pocket

Slotted swivels is the best way to go. Castor correcting arms will make uni joint angles worse.

Double Cardan Front shaft....Thats what you need to remove the vibrations..

UJs and Swivels are not really related in this case..

Vibration from the UJs from the lift cannot be corrected by slotted swivels.

Wandering (due to caster) can be changed at the swivels...

Vibration in the front shaft and uni's can be fixed with a DC joint.
