Default In a bind! Need Parts ASAP!

I just spoke with Rovertym engineering, who just informed me that the corrected front radius arms that I ordered last week and was told that they would be turned around and shipped within a few days, would now be THREE MORE WEEKS! Lucky8 and British 4x4 are completely sold out also. I'm planning on leaving on a long trip next friday, and I am in desperate need of these parts before then! Does anyone know where I can find 3-4 degree castor corrected front radius arms for my D2? NEW OR USED! I will pay any reasonable price to have these. Thank you,
Matt

How much of a lift do you have that your D2 needs correction? I run a near 3" lift and was aware they were causing me some wandering so I installed T.T. diff and the problem was gone.
Might want to call Bill Davis at Great Basins Rovers in Salt Lake City, he might know where you can find a set but as slow as RTE on building parts, I doubt you will find a set in some ones inventory.

RTE took about 6 weeks for mine. I think they just get overwhelmed, they offer excellent quality parts though. You won't find many options out there as most people don't need/want them. I wanted my castor corrected and pinion angle fixed. But keep in mind you will need a longer front prop shaft once the arms are installed.

TT will correct the pull and allow you to track straight. But if you are lifted like me it will not fix the pinion angle nor will it put the axle back where it needs to be.
