G'day all,

A question for you Patrol owners with a bit of suspension lift?

My GU has 4" front lift springs. To date I have not done anything to the castor angles.

I want to correct this and am torn between using offset bushes (2 or 3 degree) and the castor plates that are available. The old girl has done 150,000klm and has never even had a wheel alignment. The beauty of castor plates is that they allow the original bushes to remain......I have heard that the offset bushes tend to wear more quickly on the side with less "meat". However, I have always thought that the plates were only intended for use on vehicles with 6" lift or more???

The other alternative is to get a truck alignment place to do the whole job of aligning and doing the castor correction all at once.

Thanks for your rsponses....................
