Hey guys,

I apologize for what might be an easy thing, but I couldnt find anything to help me.
I have a 99 105 Snowy GXL with a 4" lift and running 35s.
The castor appears to be out a bit, and the tyres impact the guard while turning under compression.
I assumed the radius arms needed to be replaced to match the lift, however for some reason I didn't bother to check what arms were there.

I looked this morning for some reason and they appear to be aftermarket...and look similar to what I have ordered but not quite...the logo is warn off.

Is there any way to know what lift these arms are for, like where to measure something?

I have purchased a new set of Superior Engineering HyperFlex arms.

Hopefully the old ones are actually for the wrong lift, or I will feel like a bit of an idiot...

Hey , I'm also in need of a solution on this problem.
The radius arms in your pic look like OEM .
I have a 4 inch lift on my 105 and have custom made radius arms installed but have a vibration on the front prop at about 100 kmph - gets worse if you lift off on the throttle.
I'm in Cape Town- South Africa and access to proven after market components is a bit challenging.
 
Lift throttle vibration is often worn u-joints in the driveshaft. I would inspect/remove driveshaft and check for balance if you can. Go from there.
 
Those look like stock radius arms with bolt on caster plates. You can look into getting replacement arms, should be the same as any 80 series vendors, but may not be able to use those correction plates. I'd take it apart and have a good look as some of those require cutting the axle mounts to install them.

Another option would be to lower the radius arms from the trans cross member side to help with your angles at the expense of losing a little ground clearance, there are kits for that too.

What's rubbing? Can you get any detailed photos of what's making contact?

I thought the same...like caster correction plates had already been installed...
