The easiest and cheapest way to correct Your castor, bro, is to order the ex-centric polyurethane bushes or silent-blocks (as we call them in Russian) for both front arms. All tohether You need 4 pcs, 500 RUR each (about 20 $)/
Just go to www.polyurethane.ru and find Jimny's ones. Contact them, they understand English. Shipment to UK will cost You some 10-20 poinds, no more.

All Russian Jimny lifters use this optimal way. I'm driving mine for the last 50 t.km - still alive. The car rides 35" TSL Boggers, used for trophy only.

:laugh: Please don't tell this good joke to any Russian - there are THOUSANDS of crazy Russians which use excentrics for lifts up to 4"...

E.g. mine is 85 mm and the car is still self-steering. :) And in any case it's easier and simplier to blow off the axle bracket by plasma or just cut it by wheel and to weld it back with 2-3 deg. angle.

really dont know what i was worrying about... it was a piece of piddle. in the end i got the arms and got some bushes from my local. superb, works a treat it now drives somewhere near where i point it at! the rear end is a bit frisky but i can deal with that now. looking like i will have to trim the bumper up to stop my tyres catching on it.... or does anyone know if you can fit some sort of spacer to clear the bumper from the wheels??

cheers

Found by luck more than Russian language skills. Search jimny in the top left of the page, i did have a link but couldn't post it as BJ thought it was spam.
