How do I correct my driveline angles?
I've installed approximately 3.5"-4" of lift on my 02 Disco, and now I need to correct my front driveline angles due to my propshaft u joints being overstressed and causing vibration. My steering is a bit jittery now also. Hard to hold a straight line on the highway. Here's my question... how do I correct these angles and alleviate stress on my u joints, while also restoring control and handling characteristics? Is it as simple as replacing my radius arms with 3 or 6 degree corrected units, or is there more to it than that?

You will need castor correction arms. the catch I some of them are longer than stock and you will need a longer front shaft. When I talked to RTE he indicated a longer shaft ould be required since their arms are longer and put the font axle back to the stock location. TerraFirma will be a new d2 castor correction arms coming soon.

You can also buy castor correcting replacement bushings and install them on your radius arms.

also go to a DC rear shaft if you haven't already.

So I've heard...Does anyone know where I could find said bushings?

A. I feel like I need a little more than 1-2 degrees of correction.
B. Kinda pricey for some bushings. C. Seems like it would take a certain amount of luck to get them pressed in just right. I'd say it looks like the replacement arms might still be the better option...as long as I don't need to replace my front driveshaft. |
You will have to get the radius arms. What size tires are you running? Whats angles are you at now? That will determine if you need 3 or 6

Call Justin at Lucky 8, I believe he has the bushings, I know he has the correcting radius arms. RTE also makes a mean corrected radius arm.
