Hey all,
I've been looking at FZJ80's up here in WA state and have stumbled upon one that's got a 2.5" OME lift on it (Heavy Front, Medium Backs) that's got some serious stink bug going on.
Owner says he never installed caster correction bushings, which is causing the forward rake.
After doing a little searching on the subject (loads of info on here about it) I've yet to see the caster bushings being the reason this is happening.
I've read about the importance of caster correction and also seen that every cruiser is different when lifted. I could see if this is just one of those cases of "this is how this particular cruiser acts when lifted" but was wondering if there might be any truth what the guy is telling me. Would caster correction bushings change the way this cruiser sat?
I appreciate any and all wisdom!
(note: ARB winch bumper installed, no winch. No sliders, stock rear bumper, no additional skid plates or significant weight adding modifications have been done to this rig)
