Jimny castor correction
Grinch:
And you used the scientific method of just eyeballing it? or was there some hokey calcu-ma-lations i should be extremely frightened of? :lol:
From what i can figure its a case of getting the imput shaft and spring retainers back to parallel with the ground, right?

slapped some standard size jimny tyres on found standard jimny measured bottom of diff near the bolts into the axles to floor measured diff nose on prop flange to floor and made ares the same.... went for test drive seemecd reet enought welded it up
glaggs:
My calculations give a 4.5 degree difference with a 2" lift. So in effect the front axel wants twisting back up by 4.5 degree. This means the centre for the new hole is approx 13mm from the centre of the old one. I'm goingto have a go at making up a 'patern' which I'll bolt into the rear hole and use as a guide to dril the new front hole. If it works I'll take some pics and post 'em.
(Luckily I've a spare front axel to practice on!
Grinch:
