Hi guys recently bought a 76 series cruiser.
Was driving perfectly until...
Put a 3 inch Dobinsons Lift kit in front and rear. Remote resivoirs etc. Now when I drove it obviously the Castor was no good. But car drove in a dead straight line wasnt fighting to keep it straight.
Though I got death wobbles from what I believe was castor issue I fitted some superior engineering radius arms for castor correction.
I'm just over castor now.

Though since fitting those arms my truck is pulling left consistently!
It had been to 3 different wheel alignment and all have verified it to be satisfactory.
Tyre pressures good.
Tyres are 35" maxis razr MTz on 16 dynamics steel wheels.

It's been to 2 4x4 shops who seem to neglect it and put it in the too hard basket. I just want to know what's causing this..
Anyone had similar issues or feedback that k you so much in advance.

This is an odd one for sure.... sounds like you did all the right things...

I put a 4'' lift and 35'' tires on my 76 as well, and did not have any issues like this. Did you also replace the panhard link? The stock one is not adjustable, and I replaced mine as with a 4'' lift, I needed to lengthen the panhard rod about a good 1/4 inch.

Also, I am sure this was probably checked and double-checked, but are all the tire pressures equal?

Aside from that, if you can trust the folks you took it to, then I would be taking measurements to make sure everything is even. Heights, distances between wheels (between the front tires, both from side and back, also between the front and rear tires), look for anything off.
