80 Series Land Cruiser Caster Correction After Lift

[@Ghostrider-71]

Great video, thank you for posting. You only have 2 eyes, eye pro is a must!

[@rickymarquez2468]

I just put a 3" lift and installing the caster correction bushings was the worst part of the job. Its really frustrating but with patience it can be done. Good video. 🤙

[@WDMTAdventures]

One of those fun, pain in the arse jobs. I look forward to doing mine tomorrow.

[@thelandcruiserproject]

Good luck!

@@thelandcruiserproject thanks. The steering wheel is on the other side to yours here in Australia.

[@80SeriesPakistan]

Good job! Hope it was the right way in 😁 Question we get is “ Castor correction required for a 2 inch lift?” i guess the answer will always be yes 🙌🏻

[@hendryk1493]

So do you just put on the parking brake and not jack the vehicle up? Can you take both radius arms out at the same time that way?

[@thelandcruiserproject]

That's how I did it!

[@hendryk1493]

@@thelandcruiserproject cheers, did you jack up the axle slightly to relieve pressure from the bolts? Or did you put the axle or diff on jackstands at all?

[@thelandcruiserproject]

I didn't need to do any of that. It might help to have a jack handy to make stuff a little bit easier to move around, but there really wasn't much pressure on it.

[@thelandcruiserproject]

Did you get it done?

@@thelandcruiserproject nah mate not yet. Still waiting for parts that should’ve arrived yesterday

[@TheMultisportGeek]

Is there a left arm and a right arm? Or are they identical?

[@thelandcruiserproject]

The arms, to my knowledge, are the same.

[@knightmpw]

They are same...

[@jonathangaznabbi7603]

What degree of caster correction did you install. You replacement springs were just one inch higher than stock, right?

[@thelandcruiserproject]

The springs gave about 4" of lift (watch the very end of the video). The difference in the height of the spring themselves was about an inch. The caster correction bushings that I put on were about 3° I believe. If I had to do it again, I'd probably go with the Delta Vehicle Systems radius arms and use OE bushings.

@@thelandcruiserproject Great source, thanks.

Don't know I I speak for a lot of first-time LC owners who are diy's but I would love for someone to explain the difference between having a center differential lock and a triple locked differential. I am thinking that a CDL sends 50% power to the front axle and 50% power to the rear axle. Whereas, a triple locked differential locks the left and right wheels of each axle (the spider gears) with equal power so that they spin in unison. Is that it? Also, i see some guys installing a CDL switch on the dash, i through that all LC's come standard with CDL and to acticate all you have to do is put the truck in 4-low. Why do people need a CDL switch? We could really use a good video explaining these topics. Please let us (your fans) know if you can put together a good video for us. Thanks!

@@jonathangaznabbi7603 .... there’s a fantastic about the basic principals of differentials called “spinning gears” from the 1940s. Start with that. It was explain the fundamentals and the drawbacks and benefits to having a locked differential. Same principle applies for the center, and both axles.

Hi free thinkers, swap rear bolt so nut on side of exhaust, suggestion for R&R.

[@thelandcruiserproject]

Do you think Toyota got it wrong?

[@skhochay]

this is the most incorrect way of doing this, those bushing will move there

[@thelandcruiserproject]

So you’re suggesting a revised control arm is better than offset bushings?

[@skhochay]

@@thelandcruiserproject first you do not need to do anything and use original upto 3' lift you do not need any castor correction , but once you use this chep and hard way by swapping bushings you must do 2 things 1, drill a small hole in the arm control so the water gets in and seized then with the rust to the arm - no joke so thay do not play/spin . 2. because your angle is incorrect and I am 100% sure it is not you need to have a double yoke on front cardan shaft.
