: Discovery 2 Caster Correction

I have a 4" lift in the D2 and i have been putting up with the wandering so far but since going up in tyre size it has gotten to the point that i need to correct the caster if possible.

The RTE arms are probably the best option but being in Australia it's not possible with how they do the supply of them.

So, i can get some Supa-Pro Poly bushes (blue ones) from Fulcrum Suspension in Brisbane that will do a 3% correction, has anyone here had any dealings with Supa Pro or had correction bushes on a Disco 2.

Any thoughts good or bad on Poly bushings for caster correction:confused:

From what I've read, the corrected bushings don't last long.

When I had my stock arms, I cut them off along the curve where the bushing is, rotated the bushing end a little (It doesn't take much to correct them)then, rewelded and plated them about 6" down w/ .25" plate on both sides. The arms are forged, not cast, so welding them is straight forward.

I don't have them anymore (running three-link), otherwise I'd take a picture for you.

Hope this is understandable and that it helps some.

I have them, but theyre for sale now, because ive moved on to custom stuff. Theyre sitting here waiting to be sold for $200.

They made a drastic diffence when I installed them initially. Installing a Tru-Trac ls diff helped as well, but not as much as the arms did.
