G'day all I went and got a wheel alignment done today and was told the caster was out -2.7 where to from here does that mean that 3 degree radius arm will bring things back to a 0 degree or how does it work I have a little understanding that suspensions work a zero degree axis meaning caster camber etc am I on the right track

No expert but from where I see it
You need to rotate the axles to regain a 0' caster. Cranked radius arms would do this (are they legal in NSW?). Another way I have seen this done is by cutting and welding the axle housings to the recommended degree required.
Wouldn't doing this then put a negative camber on one wheel and a positive on the other whilst turning? How would this effect how the ACE handles a turn?

theres no need to cut and weld.......
its a land rover......you just unbolt the ends...elongate the holes and then refit......
just like discowhite has done......
but first.....why is your caster out......?
have you got a lift in your rig....?
or are the front radius arm bushes worn.....?

no caster balls.....?
what type of setup do they have.....?
has the d2 got a tojo diff......
if its got a big lift.....then that would do it.....
hows the angles on the uni joints.....?
OldBushie
yep no balls
It's a chicks car.
It's got a king pin setup

I always struggle to read what you type ROVENIT????
The castor is out and its actually -2.7 degrees when it should be +3
Or its out by -2.7 degrees and the figure is actually +0.3
I'm assuming the first by the size of your silly lift
you'll need 5 degree arms, If that's what they make?
Bet it bump steers and tram tracks like a crunt at the moment

So does your Classic RR
But No detachable swivel housings on the D2, another backwards step by LR
OldBushie
im gonna have to go home and have a look at my manuals......
i dont remember the classics having a king pin.....ive only ever seen range rovers with the swivel hubs.......
i thought the d2 was the same.....
is anyone else working today....?
OldBushie
Yep swivel housings, but they're fixed by pins and swivel bearings, may a mix of terminology, but D2's are open to atmosphere, not enclosed in a swivel housing
