No probs Steve,done a few D2 axle conversions now so i guessed it was time to build a couple of jigs so that the guesswork was taken out of the equation

Another job completed today. Have cranked my front arms to give the correct caster to suit the 2"lift. One problem with fitting the new axles is that they really show up negative or zero caster resulting in VERY twitchy steering. This combined with the silly little wheels made motorway work very nervous
So off came the front arms and the caster angle adjusted with a 200t hydraulic press to 3degrees . Much improved steering feel,better self centering and one happy bunny
Pick my 285s up next week and cant wait to get them on Paul |
