Can you let me know how you get on with the damper? Jimny bits have a rough country one for about £68

Hi, i have just fitted super pro castor correction bushes, but still have the ARB on, the drop link angle gives the impression it's not doing much. Do you recommend removing ARB? Will it still pass MOT without it?

I removed my one as it will give you more flex wile off roading, on the road will make it worse (At leas mine got worse) but a lot better in the wild ;)

A steering dumper will make it fill a lot better ......

My one pass MOT without the ARB, guess I was lucky as he licked the Jimny :evil:

Hi there and welcome along!

It will drive with massive body roll compared to normal and without the full castor correction ( bushes will only sort out a 2" lift) the steering will feel different.

I have somply got used to mine and I have no caster correction and have no issues wth it. You just have to drive it according to it's handling characteristics, like any modified and lifted offroader really.

My Jimny with a 4.5" spring fift and a 2 " body lift is not that bad realy
but i fitted a ORA stablizer kit and it made the steering heavy and
realy drove like a dog so i pulled it of ( after 30 miles ) much happer
now .:P :P
So if any body wants it £££ PM me
