There’s an inclined road leading and I make a right turn contacting the right tire first instead of the front pair together

Uh, what are you pointing out here? Just the buildup of grease leakin out? Or something else?

Peeked underneath my truck today and found a knuckle stud missing on the right, all 4 are present on the left. What’s more concerning is the inner 2 are bent into the brake dust cover so I can’t fit a wrench to tighten them. On a scale of 1 to 10 (catastrophic) how bad do y’all think they are...

I have a fairly low, rumbling, almost grinding sound that is fairly noticeable inside the cabin while driving. It only happens when the car is warm, and it goes away after I turn the car off and turn it back on again, only to come back when I give it gas (While warm: the sound is not present I...

Evening everybody, dumb question here but I have a 97 land cruiser with a driver side front caster arm that looks like this: Is that not an ABS wiring harness?? I thought fzj80’s DONT HAVE WIRING HARNESSES ON THE ARM. Im about to drop major $$ on some sweet delta caster arms and I wanna make...

How did you accomplish that with a 2 inch drop bracket? Are you running caster bushings on top of that?

Well, it’s clear that I’ll have to do some more reading on this. I may or may not come back with more questions once I process that and think about my options... FWIW I’m looking at a dobinsons lift that, after reading up, turns out about 2.25 of lift in The front and 2.5 in the rear so whatever...

Hopefully mine turns out as nice as yours! did you ever get a chance to post your measurements, post lift? I’d be curious to know how much you gained in the front and rear while unloaded. also what is your caster measurement after using the 2” manafre drop brackets? What tires are you...

Arent you running a 2 inch lift with 30 mm spacers? Wouldn’t that place you closer to 3 inches? How’s your caster angle with these 50mm caster bracket drops?

Any issues with ground clearance when wheeling?

Are you having any issues with your DS angle? I want to use 4 inch caster arms for a 2.5/3 inch lift but not sure how that’d impact the geometry.

Will do, I’m realizing that caster angle for vibe free driving after lifting is one of those topics that vary from truck to truck and it’s not as straight forward as one would think.. Thanks.. edit: yes It drives fine

The bushings seem fine, I honestly haven’t noticed any “squirrelly” steering or what not. They do just fine going 75 on the highway. Do you think an alignment shop would be able to give a yes no on my caster arm question? From What I’ve read and heard the caster arms are the best way to go, but...

Not yet. Should I? It’s pretty apparent it’s negative (though i admit it’s only slightly negative)

Evening Folks, After reading up on the importance of dialing in caster I’ve come to notice that my new to me FZJ80 already has a ‘negative’ caster on stock springs and shocks... when I say negative, I mean the axle is rotated like this: \ when looking in from the front left tire. why is this...
