What is it about?
You mean he didn't EXPECT to have neg caster when he lifted 4 inches?
You mean he didn't read ANYTHING about the topic before doing it?

If the axle is turned, I suggest he invests in a vastly expensive front propellor shaft with wide angle UJs, and maybe a scattershield if he retains the double cardan.
Regards Philip A

the problem is in listening.
this has all been covered in NUMEROUS other threads and posts on several fourms.

cheers phil

Rovernit, Unless this vehicle is to be a pure competition truck, driven solely on private property...

You MUST keep it within the realms of safe and legal.

Almost all trails are gazetted or on crown land, which requires a legal and registered vehicle to travel them.

Now I dont quite explain how you are having so much trouble with this setup...

Theres a few simple rules..... And you've ignored most of them....

I didn't say it wasn't going to be engineered what's the point of engineering a vehicle not complete, the moment I get the caster arms bush sorted its the next step, so please stop harping me about engineering I've been there before with moded performance cars

I didn't say I wasn't going to do it, there is really nothing out of the ordinary that cant be engineered, Slunnies was, and the only difference between his and mine is I have a cranked watts linkage and no one has proven to me there illegal yet and if so I'll remove it and eat humble pie and I bet his even sits higher then mine with his street tyres which are 34's I believe

Christ sakes you all comment on the thing yet you have never seen it or driven it and sorry most of you speculate on how it drives as you have never driven a 4 inch lifted disco 2, I only run 32's will have it engineered with 34-35 if legal

how many guys have cargo draws from what I've been told they need to be engineered too no one has them engineered I bet

as said before there are heap of 3 inch lifted fenders and Disco running 34 35 that are higher then my disco how many of them are engineered probably zero how about the RR which was out yesterday again monstered over mine he had an axe on the bonnet now that's not legal, are they engineered I bet you there not, and even if they are engineered are they legal

I have passed a many RBT hell I even tested the arc in a park on a bush rocks right next to cops and they didn't care luckily maybe they where having lunch

Come on let it go, and give me break, are bush the go or arms I didn't go for bush as they have the stigma that the reduce arc if they don't it is a cheaper option isnt it

On Simex's I sit 7" over standard combined and 6" over the D2's max spec ride height and it's fine considering its on Simex. On the 33" MTR's the thing handles really well and I would argue better than most with a 2" lift and 32's in the dirt. ACE is ACE! It's all engineered and it meets all of the ADR's, former NSW RTA guidelines as with the current DOTARS NCOP guidelines.

Interesting about the Defenders though. Although they sit higher than a D2 I'm not sure what the difference in CofG is, as they have an alloy roof.



Personally, I'd try the bushes first as they are cheap and then just see how they drive WRT vibration and steering response. If the Superpro ones flex, then awesome.

You fit them AS PER INSTRUCTIONS which will result in a physical change of 3 degrees to the front alignment.

You DONT take them out and change them each alignment.....

Its a 30 minute job and its DONE....

Am I the only one that can read Tombraiders posts?

Yeah, I wondered why Tombraiders lunch break has been 2.5hrs also! Where are you mate?

Kidding, they're very valid points.
