DO YOU EVEN LIFT BRO? #2 | Ball joint spacers in the Gen 2 Pajero

First we wound the tortion bars up, now we've fitted Ball Joint Spacers to the Mitsubishi NK Gen 2 Pajero to add some more lift and droop.

Im always looking at pajero content like this to see what i can learn and apply to the terracan. At the moment after 3 alignments and basically near ruined front tyres im seeing if i can get it to not wander with the canter of the road where you have to slightly pull the steering wheel to counter it (a slight annoyance at highway speeds). I swapped the pitman arm which was flogged (i spotted after 1st align) and that seemed to eliminate freeplay in the steeringwheel. Prying around with a bar (when on ground and jacked) the only thing that i could personally see were worn sway bushes. (Swapped em + links). Before i start throwing parts at it, buying control arm poly bushes + ball joints i might pay 30 for a pedders inspection and see what repport/suggestion they comeup with. Then touch wood if i can get her right i might see if its worthwhile trying to make it a bit more capable for the odd sandy island trip. Ground clearance isnt amazing, and in nsw the tallest tyre i can legally fit is 30" (but could probably fit a skinny 32"[235/85r16] without any problem). I am leaning towards the idea of a rear chinese e_locker (+hidden front winch). And a front cn elocker if that works out okay. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from shaun.

Mate, you're all over it.... well done on having a solid plan for the rig. I'm in total agreement with all you have stated. Nothing more satisfying when you give it a crack, have success, and learn stuff about yourself, your capabilities, and, of course, your truck. Thanks for your kind words and support.

Hey great video mate covered everything, you reckon it would be easier to do shims first when the control arm is free from ball joint, then watch it after shims are done ?

[@dodgy_garage_4x4]

@@troyaus6069 you could... but it's not hard at all to do with the ball joint connected either.

[@stuiescampingadventures]

That was really interesting, How did it finish up. You happy with it?

[@dodgy_garage_4x4]

Still tinkering with the tortion bars and the ride height. I'm off to Fulcrum this week to get the caster fine-tuned.

Look the bull bars i want

[@dodgy_garage_4x4]

@taukirihepi8350 It's a Bocar brand, I've never seen another like it to date though! It came on the Paj.

It's too bad there isn't an aftermarket UCA upgrade option for Gen 2 Pajeros.

[@dodgy_garage_4x4]

There's a company here in Aus called Pajformance, i heard on the grapevine that they are looking to maybe fabricate some.

Sir, wherd you get the black rubber fender? Looks awesome!

[@dodgy_garage_4x4]

Outback Equipment in QLD Australia. Look them up on the internet 👍🏻

[@andyenteechin6204]

Hi mate, I did my ball joint spacer too, and add all the shim, but the camber still a little bit positive, and the bolt for the camber shim is not enough long to let me add camber shim

[@dodgy_garage_4x4]

Hi, the key here is longer Upper Control Arm bolts so you can add the shims. Alternatively, you could get spacers that aren't that high, i assume you have gone 25mm, or just flip the ball joints without the spacers.

[@andyenteechin6204]

Understand it.. thank you mate
