The problem I have there is Il need to send them the swivels. Then wait for them to come back. That bit isn't free. And that will be in the three week category which I don't currently have with the job hunting scenario that I am forced to undertake.
Not wanting to sound pompas but ideally having the car mobile come this Monday is a positive. I have an interview on the Wednesday with a possible start the next Monday.
Fitting the castor bushes, getting it back together and aligned by then with new tyres is achievable. And it'll drive right, but with the possibility of a vibration, which at a later date and funds can be corrected.
She only has a 2" (or 40mm tough dog(?)) Lift, but the steering side of it is terrible and not something I enjoy. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the 285/75r16 on -25 rims. There is room for improvement and winding it back to 3 degrees will help a lot.
Just for fact I have fitted a "return to centre" steering damper and have had it on since the lift, but it's the highway cruising where I have the issue. Most of the roads Il be utilising are 80 to 100km mark and aren't in the best of condition. From previous experience it has been hard in the past to not switch lanes at random.
Honestly I'm a little overwhelmed with just getting the damn thing running, then driving down the country and it's probably something I need to think about over few wheat brewed substances and make a plan.

Are yours still 10 spline? I've got a pair of those hubs spare.

Good result.
The LRA price was only provided as an indication of what the upper end of the cost to sort the shopping trolley steering should be.
Paddocks are selling new swivels with the holes corrected for a lift BTW. I think Jilden's may be a bit cheaper!

I was thinking about this last night and maybe using the ones from Jilden and then slowly rebuilding my swivels with the slots and new parts and then swapping them over when time permits. It is just the caliper bolts and the 9 or so bolts to the diff housing and out they come.
I am set to pull the whole diff out today, just waiting for it to warm up outside a bit.

Try removing that return to centre steering damper and putting a standard one on and see how that goes.
I have had those on two different vehicles and they vibrated when above 70kph, took them off and all was good.
