Title: clocking swivles / castor corection
Post by: stretchy on March 13, 2010, 15:42:33

hiya guys
do any of you know about clocking swivles to achevie castor corection?? I think im going to have to sort out some castor corection at some stage the only options i know of are offset bushes / duble cardon prop / cranked arms but I read somewhere you can turn your swivle backwards a bit to get the same same affect ??

i love the 2'' lift and am used to the way it drives but its eating throgh ujs like a pack of jammie dodgers

If you fit castor correction bushes or arms you will make the propshaft worse.  The gearbox UJ angle gets a tiny bit worse plus the axle UJ straightens out, so you get the pulsing in the driveline that increases wear and makes a racket when you are coasting.

Tomcat Motorsport make a 6 degree (3 or 4 inch lift) castor corrected swivel.  You should not drill your existing swivels, they will become too weak.
