--- Quote from: "davidlandy" ---rather than buy caster corrected arms OME do a bush kit that caster corrects for about £50.

It uses offset bushes, so I suspect that it wont give u as much correction as the arms but it may be a cheaper option for u.

Like you say I'd be surprised if it goes far enough, to compensate for a 2"+lift. But I will investgate cheers. Are there any stength problems with offset bushes?

on strength - no idea

on their effect - no idea!

just thought I would mention it!  frogs island 4x4 sell them , may be worth giving them a shout

My advice : Avoid them.

They will properly correct a 2" lift, but will hammer your front axle articulation more than ever.  The lack of material on one side of the bush means that it can't compress.

I tried a set on the 90... drove it once around the test track and took them straight off again.

Thrasher:
I bought a set from QT a few years ago (offset bushes). The instructions were so good....I gave the bushes away ;-)

Now...the arms I bought from QT ... well....NO WAY am I giving those away! ;-)

the voices of experience have spoken :wink:

Having gone down this route within the last three weeks I can highly recommend the radius arms. No tramlining, it goes where you point it and even self centres the steering!!  :o

The only thing to watch out for is vibration from the front propshaft due to the increased angle of the top U/J. I ended up replacing the prop with a TD5 front prop that has a Carden joint (double U/J) at the top to ease the angle.

Have a look at this thread for info & photos.  :wink:
