Hi all I've recently fitted some Insa Turbo Special Track 285 75 R16 On 10j Modulars onto my Defender 90 300TDI. I've also installed some Terrafirma 30mm spacers and 2" Terrafirma Lift kit but I’m now experiencing some serious steering issues to the point I would almost say it’s dangerous? (it seems to go where it wants) I thought it might be the tracking but it seems something much more serious? I was wondering if it might be the fact that I haven’t installed a return to centre shock but i'm new to all this so could really do with some help please?

Thanks
Jimbo

unless steering line is through center of tyre which is what camber angle is for putting big wheels with spacers without right offset will make steering ****

Ok with the help of James I think i'm correct in saying I need to get some caster correction arms and bushes fitted to resolve my steering issues. Does anyone know of anything else that I might be missing?


Thanks
