Has anyone had a chance to fit these yet?

New tyres arrived today so I had another look at the wear & rears are surprisingly pretty good, but the fronts are trashed on the inside edge. What's the solution for that? Is there enough standard adjustment (even when lowered) or should I be looking at some sort of aftermarket adjustment thingy (that'd be the technical term, lol)?

So far I have only fitted them to the camber arms, got a little lazy. Took it for a wheel alignment and I should have fitted them to the toe arms as I planned, so I will fit the toe arm bolts in the next week or 2 and pay for another alignment rant.gif.

As it sits now the camber is at 1.25deg neg but need the toe bolts fitted so then they said I will get the camber near on .5deg neg with the toe set how they need it. They could get .5deg neg camber but then couldn't adjust the toe correctly. This is what i was aiming for when buying these bolts so all is looking good.

Very easy to fit the bolts. I did it the cheap way and bought an Ozito rotary tool kit for $50 and 3yr warranty and ordered a set of 10 carbide burr cutters from ebay for $30 delivered express. Both cheapies did the job without any fault and lived to see another day.

For the front I fitted super pro offset bushes to the upper arms. This gives you .5deg adjustment - or +. So my fronts are both sitting at 1.25deg neg. Before fitting them they nearly sat at 2 deg neg.

I did noticed my rear tyres are feathering a lot on the inside so they adjusted the toe in from 3mm to 4mm on both sides and se how it is in a few weeks.

What rear toe are most of you guys running to eliminate the feathering?

Have you guys not put the lower arm Super Pro caster bush's yet?....the offset ones.

They made a huge difference to the turn in, not sure how much extra angle they give but it feels great in corners now.

Still yet to fit the camber bolts, or get the alignment done...

I havent fitted them. I won't until the factory bushes crap themselves. How much extra castor do they give?

How many KM's has your car got? You need to check them with the car in the air or else you wont see the cracking. From memory I got about 1.5-2 degrees out of them! They also help the car to stop ducking weaving!

As Scott said in the turn in theres a big difference....bring the car to life imo!

Thats the idea. The Pedders guys said they'd used them on other cars and found them really good, make the car nice and stable at speed with a couple of extra degrees of caster.

Doing mine as soon as I've got everything ready. Have to send a set of toe arms back that don't fit and get the correct camber arms.

White line do some similar that are cheaper but theyre not eccentric. Pedders quoted me $150 for the eccentric super pros and I thought thats what everyone was paying.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
