Thanks for the reply , I wish that were the case with mine . won't know till I have some time to see if my frame is bent.....

Not being pissy , just seems like people reply without reading what already has been posted , hence my regurgitation. I also confused positive and negative caster it seems backwards in my head. I live in the land of no land rovers , especially lifted ones but I have owned three d2's, two were...

Everything could be put back to stock geomitry , without cutting or welding with the exception of the shock towers (I threw the old ones away). So judging by how supprised everyone else is I'm assuming frank is right.

All of those are very possible , a bent frame seems most likley....... It had been crashed before i bought it but it doesnt look like its ever been on a jig but i can't be sure. Fuck it back to looking for toy axles

Brett , tipping the t case up was recommended by tom woods in hope to bring the angle closer to 90° instead of at a positive angle / . Mongo , with +3°of caster it drives just fine. With 0° its very much on edge , tends to follow road imperfections and does not track straight .

Pinion where it should be according to tom woods = -3° of caster (top ball joint tipped forward) although I haven't ever driven it at -3° I have at 0° and its nearly undrivable. I can garuntee that it would be borderline deadly. As by the nature of caster angle the wheels would always want to...

Correct if I "roll" the axle back forward I will have a better angle , and rolling the axle back will make it worse this is a fact. Link mounts ? I made another mounting tab on the front of my axle where the front of the radius arm mounts to allow for more caster. I can still use the stock...

Yes I have an adjustable panhard and the pinion is centered. I also currently have 3° of positive caster ( top ball joint tipped back) I did correct for caster when I lifted the truck ( made new link mounts). How am I giving up travel ? I don't know my pinion/driveshaft angles offhand ...

6°- (top ball forward) is absolutely obsurd. The girlfriend drives it occasionally , she would die. I've played with scrub angle quite extensivly but not so much with the rover. I've only been able to dial in "feel" and bump steer. Nothing that most drivers would ever be able to notice

Thanks brett !

Yes , I've replaced the t-case bearing twice and the flange once. I've been getting 3-7k out of all the double cardean joints . not to mention all the travel I've been giving up.

+3° from zero . And after giving it some thought negative scrub would make more stable. Granted I have to much now , don't remember exactly but I think its about an inch.

Scrub radous has no effect of straight line tracking...... Hell even General motors doesn't give a shit about scrub radius or even Ackerman angle for that matter for production vehicles .

Kyle , one tom woods, two ground up stockers . the nuckles arent cast they seem to be forged. I am no metalurgest but they weld as good the diff's. Yes it is a big time commitment , and fzj80 axles would be the best option... To get correct pinion angle it would have -3° of caster ( top ball...
