Castor correction.... Help/advise?? was created by ferreter
Recently bought a jimny with a 3inch lift kit, with no castor correction, and the result is pretty terrifying!
This may not be helped by the fact there is no anti-roll bar fitted at the moment.
But can somebody tell me if it's worth spending 280 odd quid for the correction radius arms, or whether the correction bushes would be adaquate... Any advise would be appreciated as I'm new to jimnys

Cheers all, James

You need the castor correction arms if you want to get the steering geometry back to how it should be. Those bushes are only good up to 2" lift, and just help some if you have more lift than that, but they won't fix the castor completely.

Sure you can, if you manage to get them off in one piece! :)
