What are the correct angles/specifications. Rave only gives earlier D2, mine is Td5 2003MY. ?Castor correction bushes needed to adjust the overall wear?
Service tomorrow at redcliffe and will assess anything bent, Ill blame the wife ha.

Castor correction for a D2 isn't as simple as the D1/RRC/Def, for one there aren't any swival balls on a D2 and the castor correction bushes available won't last very long and also they will give you 0deg castor and most importantly they will give you driveline vibration.

So unless you have lift of 3" or over, most likely you will only need a wheel alignment and balance, if you need bushes replaced stick with the rubber OME replacements for the trailing and radius arms.
