Castor Arm/tension Rod

[stenve]

so today had my hicas lock bar and wheel alignment done by ken at accurate suspension services here in brisbane.

He has told me to get my car going straight i'll need some arms to adjust castor. (car is pulling to the left)

He recommended i use some adjustable rose jointed arms as they will allow the most adjustment.

I expressed my concern about running rose jointed stuff as ive read here many a time its no good for the street. (my car is a daily)

He mentioned i could try the adjustable super pro bushes and they "might" just get me enough adjustment to get it right.

I would like to know my options here. I'd rather use a rubber type mount if possible.. are rose joints that bad? Stay away from pillowball im guessing?

What brands are best and where should i buy them?

For example... could i use something like this?

i really dont want to spend 400 odd dollars on something like cusco or ikeya or whatever as its only a daily driven r34 gtt that will at most see the track once or twice a year.

Ideas?

Cheers

If u don't wanna spend much, just get SuperPro offset bushes. If want more caster which will feel and handle better, go with Kazama ones. They're high quality and have dust boots on the rod ends which will make em last way longer. They're around the 300 dollar mark.

thanks mate.

Yeah i saw those kazama ones $255 from rhd apparently. does anyone stock them in Aus?

superpro bushes are roughly $130ish i think so not a huge difference.

what about stuff like the JJR items?

i put white line adjustable castor bushes ($140 NZ) in my stagea and it made a huge difference . youll find if you drive on the wrong side of the road will pull right. lack of castor makes car follow camber on road .now my left is on max which got me 4.25 degrees of castor and right is on 4 degrees and its mint as .

apparently the superpro bushes give more adjustment then the whiteline?

sourced a set of kazamas for 265 posted. so i think i might get these.

just dodgily checked my toe:

right front - can fit my 3 middle fingers in easy between back of tyre and mudflap.

left front - can only fit 2 and a half if that in between back of tyre and mudflap.

so quite a difference

JIS sell the Kazama castor rods for $250. They're located in Adelaide

SuperPro or whiteline are $100 for the pair from most places. They have the same amount of adjustment.

Basically if those bushes don't have enough adjustment to get your castor equal on both sides then it means something is very bent.
