Hi guys.
Just dawned on me that the radius arms on my 90 arn't cranked as they should be for the lift i have, and this might be partly to blame for the vibration i'm getting.
My funds are a little limited right now so was wondering if anyone had any second hand ones before i need to look at getting new.

What ya got????????

Cheers.
 
Cranked arms are fitted to correct the castor angle which is compromised when the suspension is lifted. It cures a reluctance for the steering to self-centre, which occurs in some cases. Many people don't fit them for a 2" lift because they aren't always necessary.

If you have a vibration problem, they will make it worse, because they return the diff nose to the horizontal, making the angle of the front prop steeper and the effect of UJ binding worse.
You may need to fit a wide angle prop or remove the lift.
 
Thanks Trewey.
I'm looking towards the prop also.. and have put up another thread trying to determine what to buy as been through a few of different lengths that i had here or mates had, not knowing what they came off.. and nothing has helped yet.

I'm upgrading the rad and a new intercooler right now, and fitting a new fuel tank next week, plus under sealing.. so getting busy with her again at last.
