Front UG and Radius Arms query

<< < (2/4) > >>

davidlandy:
fitting caster corrected raduis wont help the UJ situation at all, may even make it worse and the nose of the diff drops further still.

bullfrog:
Cheers for that Jake. :wink:
Your castor angle will be out with a 2" lift.
It does also cause premeture wear in the prop.
Fitting re castored arms will sort your steering but will still affect the prop.
Fitting a double cardon prop will sort this as there are more UJs so each one does less.
Not sure how fitting a spacer would help unless longer arms are fitted ?? :?
I would say shop around for parts and do bear in mind most UJ kits are £30 and a new prop is £60 so just as cheap really. :?
If I can help fell free to contact me. :D :wink:  :)

Range Rover Blues:
The QT arms are a tad longer to correct the shortening of the wheelbase casued by lifting, but it's a matter of mm.  I think the spacer alows you to use a Defender one on a Disco.

Xtremeteam:
Bullfrog: if your paying £30 for a UJ kit you were robbed & if you can get props for £60 ill have 2.


a genuine landrover HD UJ kit is only £15 at even the most expensive of parts retailers i know of  :wink:

When you replace the hardy spicer have a good look at how the UJ works at an angle. You'll see that the two forks are mashing against the flange on both sides, you'll probably see a slight dent forming on the flange. Try grinding a little of the metal from both flanges where the end of the forks touch. This will give the UJ more room to do it's job. DO NOT grind anything off the end of the fork. Hope this helps.
