andyb Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Personally wouldn't use castor correcting bushes or arms, but go for redrilled swivels or even get the front casing rejigged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young bobtail Rhys Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I have used old man emu castor correction bushes with standard rrc arms and they worked fine. They are now for sale on here for £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I know my 110 isn't used as much off road as your challenge/trials vehicles, but it has a 2 inch lift [OME Springs] & no castor correction as it drives & steers/self centres really well.

Milemarker Type S Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 If you are only running a 2" lift I would save some money and not bother with the castor correction issue... If you really must then clock the swivels rather than mess about with the radius arms (the standard ones don't break!) 75' of 12mm Dyneema 'just' fits on a standard MM drum- i.e. touching the tie bars... I know that doesn't answer the question but may give you some idea of scale! I personally run with 80' of 11mm with no issues even when bunching to the side slightly- I have the type R tie bars fitted and a slightly deeper drum but not as deep as the type R because it won't fit my bumper without taking the grinder to it!!!
