Radius Rod bushes, also known as castor rod bushes , will effect the feedback you feel through the steering wheel and tyre wear.

I had my front pair replaced with adjustable urethane bushes from pedders for a around $350.

Cheers

the guy yesterday said $200 for front and bck for adjustables at pedders too

Put whitleline adjustable castor rod bushes on my 33gtr cost $268.00 including fitting. Increased castor angle from ~3.0 degrees to ~ 5.5 degrees. Anymore than that will require adjustable castor rods, these can rattle a bit after a while but !!!!!

YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH CASTOR and theres nothing bad too much castor will cause.

Errr... isn't castor also known as the 'toe in/out'?

Nope. Go try find the topic I posted asking about suspension settings, theres a bit in there about it.

(edited because I forgot what I was typing)

Toe in and out is which way the wheels point, castor is different to this, and adds camber when you turn the wheels. (or so I have been lead to belive)

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
