Can these be bought,
without buying an entire suspension kit from UK?
UK kit is made in Aus but having no luck hunting them down.
May try the old school way, and go to a few Auto shops
Do we have any AZ bush suppliers?
Thanks All

you could probably put a camber pin in the rear lower control arm pivot, would do the same thing, note it will adjust the camber too

why do you need it?

A less barbaric way of achieving the Hagen Widening Mod.
Only want a few millimetres, not a whole 25mm.
To give the rhs axle a bit more slack, so it is easier to remove.

May not actualy need it yet, just a back up plan if I do later.

what bottom arms do you have? some you could slot the balljoint holes to move it all out a bit and weld some washers in the new spot

remember youll need to do it both sides to keep the alignment nice

Welding steering and suspension parts is way out of my abilities.
But will look into that, if needed.
No idea what arms, I assume stockers.

Doubt I will need to do anything,
I have clearance for the cv joint and stubby.

Stuck at home for a week, brain can't stop scheming

by which arm, there are 3, you could have one of 2, one the balljoint attaches to teh arm on one side only, the other it attaches on both sides, the balljoint sort of slips into the arm

It bolts onto one side only, on the bottom I think.
I better go look

slot 1 hole, then you can undo 2 bolts, slide it out, replace and bolt it back together?

i wonder if bruce can knock out an offset bush or if something can be adapted from another vehicle, the only ones i've see are for the radius arms on teh land cruisers & patrols

It didn't look like there was enough room to slot any, but it is dark, so will look properly one day

I could knock up a bush with no hole. (like just pour a rod of polyurethane) and you could drill ya own hole that is offset?

yeah that could work, but getting 2 hole exactly the same could be a challenge, but it looks like royce has found a solution.

those superpro ones look alright as the sleeve is offset, rather than the hole being offset & having less material on one side.

SPF0920AK

Bit dear so far, but still looking

[christover1]

Bit4Vits does sell them separately, and a better price delivered from UK, than I any I found so far. They wasn't that hard to find, unsure why I didn't spot them before.

I have ordered a set of these caster correction bushes,
along with a matching set of stock fronts.
Should help with steering,
but also give a little more firewall clearance,
and more room when needing to change cv/axle
Damn pretty color
Bits4Vits own brand, cheaper than superpro,
hopefully as good in quality.
