well if you doubt it works i can prove it to you!
i'll happily take them out again, let you drive the 90, then put them back in!
i really get the gripes when i get told something dosent work when 90% of the time the ones bagging it havent even tried it:mad:
the offer still stands!
I can't see any reason why it would help, but as long as you are happy.Quote:

On a LR re-aligning the pinion close to a parallel plane reduces vibrations....
I would assume that you mean running the pinion as close to the same angle as your drive shaft, thus reducing the amount of load on the uni at any time. The optimun set up would be to have the pinion and drive shaft on the same plane, if you could.Quote:

Maybe fitting the new bushes fixed the steering, rather than lengthening the wheelbase?Quote:
