Has anyone used these? Do they correct the truck back to a good caster? Any info would be greatly appreciated | ||

ive heard they they limit travel. if you want to correct castor contact RTE and get new radius arms. or get a front TT to correct highway wander, if thats what your lookin to do | ||

I put these on after I had my MD springs installed. They did not correct enough to keep the truck from wandering. As far as limiting travel, I have the opposite problem... so much travel that my driveshaft hits my anti-sway bar. don't know the cause but the effect is a grooved driveshaft and missing balancing weights on it! | ||

Jim, do you have a lift? I put spacers on my cross member. How can it hit the sway bar? Too much up travel? should be stopped by the bump stops right? | ||

They work ok it just depends on how far out the caster is . They get fitted most 4x4s here in Australia. | ||

I have the 764s in the front (2-2.5" lift) and tried the OME castor correction kit but hated it. Thepinion angle was so bad that there was a LOT of grinding noise, and the articulation was sucked out of my N73 shocks! Now running polys by the time I get Sam's Slotted bushes. Oh, and for any steering wander and stability issues, simply make sure everything is tight, dampner is in good condition, and the panhard-rod's bushes are premium...noneed for the caster correction. | ||

Rick, I have "too much" droop... the last 1/2" or so of downtravel is stopped on the right side by the driveshaft hitting the anti-sway bar. I have a thick aftermarket driveshaft, which is probably why I didn't notice it with the stock skinny one. I don't have any body lift, just an inch or so from the OME 761 springs. I'm looking for spacers to go on the ant-swaybar mounts, but don't want the 3" ones I saw for $75 somewhere. I only need an inch or so. For now I just drive slower over the bumps so I don't get airborne. |
