Bushings.

[ajh]

Anyone have experience with castor correction polybushings on a 2-2.5" lift? I realize it's not enough to want to do serious correction but would the bushings make a real difference? I'm not about to rush out and change out everything but in another year the factory bushings will probably be showing some wear and it would be nice to know what direction to go in.

I am running just a smug over a 3" lift on my 99D2, have run it hard, wheeled it harded and really tried to maintain it ove it's 84K miles and am not showing any sign of bushing wear or need to correct for castor wear.
Are you running lockers? I put a Detroit in the rear and a TT up front. The TT takes any loosenss out of the front from the lift.
Just a thought.

The front end geometry of the disco II is quite a bit better than the late Classics and Disco 1.
The early car was set up with very little positive caster, and any lift over about 2 1/2-3 inches would cause problems. Same problems occur on the P38.

But if you look at the front radius rods on the Disco II, you'll see that they cradle the front housing at a slightly greater angle. So unless you get stupid and decide to jack this thing way out the roof, you won't have to worry about it.

The kind of lift that Mike is talking about is just fine and won't cause you any grief. So unless you plan on making your Disco into the second coming of BigFoot. Don't sweat it!
