Tough Dog Castor Correction

When you lift your 4WD, steering geometry shifts most critically, the castor angle. This angle dictates vehicle stability, highway handling, and steering return to center. Without correction, lifts cause wandering, instability, and accelerated tire wear.

Tough Dog Castor Correction Bushes precisely realign castor angles post lift (2+ inches). Engineered for 2°-7° adjustments, they restore factory like steering responsiveness and safety for all lift heights.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is castor correction necessary after lifting my 4WD?

Lifting your 4WD alters the steering geometry, critically impacting the castor angle. This angle governs highway stability, steering return to center (RTC) capability, and directional control. Without correction, lifted vehicles experience wandering, accelerated tire wear, and unstable handling particularly at high speeds or on uneven terrain.

What angles do Tough Dog bushes cover, and how do I choose?

Tough Dog offers precision-engineered bushes in 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, and 7° adjustments. The required angle depends on your lift height: 2°-3° suits 2-3 inch (50-75mm) lifts, while 4°-7° is ideal for lifts exceeding 4 inches (100mm+). Our authorized dealers (like Opposite Lock Cardiff) provide free angle recommendations based on your vehicle model and driving habits.

Are these compatible with my 4×4?

es. Tough Dog bushes fit most popular lifted Australian 4WDs, including Toyota LandCruiser 70/76/78/79/80/105 Series, Nissan Patrol GU/GQ Utes & Wagons, and Suzuki Jimny (1998-2017). Each kit includes vehicle-specific installation templates.

Will installation modify my vehicle’s structure?

No structural modifications are needed. The bushes retrofit into existing suspension components using included templates. However, professional installation by certified technicians (like those at Opposite Lock Cardiff) is recommended for optimal alignment and safety validation.

What benefits can I expect post-installation?

Tough Dog bushes restore factory like steering stability, eliminate wandering on highways, and reduce uneven tire wear by up to 40%. Engineered for Australian conditions from corrugated outback tracks to coastal dunes, they enhance off-road control and extend suspension component lifespan.

What warranty applies?

Bushes carry a 4 year warranty for recreational use and 3 years for commercial applications. Warranties are voided if installed with non-Tough Dog suspension components or subjected to competition use.

Where should I buy genuine Tough Dog bushes?

Purchase exclusively through authorized dealers like Opposite Lock Cardiff (Newcastle/Hunter Valley), Wilkinson Suspension (Australia wide), or Canyon Offroad (LandCruiser specialists). Counterfeit products lack Tough Dog’s R&D validation and void warranties.
