better you than me mate:o

Actually it IS certified as an acceptable modification.

And panic stop wont worry it at all once locked an torqued up.

If that was the case I'd be more worried about the other ****y bolts hold the rest of the vehicle together!

G'day Folks :)

Caster Corrected Radius Arms would be my choice:)

cheers

hey i'm not saying the wheels will fall off but if the swivel housing rotates at all the caster will change and the truck could pull suddenly left or right, just a couple of degrees can make a big difference, not fun in a panic stop. but hey, its not my truck, just my opinion:D

i would talk to a certifier before you go too far, but that's just my opinion.:D

Best of luck to ya and hope they work ...

Man they are big slots thats over kill to the max let us know how they go as ive seen a diff cut n shut for this type of mod and i think the slotted balls would be heaps beta than cutting the housing and rotateing then welding back together ...

As for movement id run a couple of stiches round the flanges with a tig afta the alingnment just to be safe .

Well if they work all is good, if they don't, he'll try something else, but knowing Phill i don't think he's gone at this half arsed, i think he may have spent a bit of time working this out.

All the other mods he's done have been good, so i think this will be fine.

Baz.

They will work fine.

with the bolts tightened correctly the friction grip it generates will not allow them to slip.

this mod has been done for a long time now with no issues from those that have done it.

MIchael.

phil is a clever cookie,

he doesn't jump in with his eyes closed.......from memory of the stuff he has done only one thing never worked out quite right which was his shocky mounts and he has rectified that now.......

i dont think anyone is stupid enough to start cutting up and drilling into a 2003 defender if they weren't convinced it was going to work........

personally i think good on yeh phil nice to see you got the balls to do these things rather than sitting on a forum and just talking about it!

the day will come when you have your own buisness and people are bringing the offroaders to you for modification.....
