    That's pretty interesting. I hadn't really considered that you would get benefit from rotating only the castor angle and leaving diff pinion still pointing up after a lift.

    I always thought you had to roll the whole axle casing assembly to get it to mirror original factory UJ angles. But it wouldn't unless you altered the wheel base! Too much zig zag!

    Nice!

    That's better, I slotted mine 2.5 degrees and has made a noticeable difference.

    i have a 3 inch lift on my disco 1 and all this talk about slotting swivels to correct caster has me very interested, my question is

    how much of a slot/elongation of the hole do i need to move them 2.5 degrees or however far is needed, (i'll reread the thread to check the proper numbers)is there some way of using a tape measure or marking the swivel mount plate or something.

    also there has been talk about propshaft, when u split them and rejoin them at the sliding joint/splined part they need to be put together correctly so the phase is right, how can i check mine to make sure there right as i have noticed vibration in the shafts

    i do hope im not making a easily confusing subject worse

    many thank marty
