    Hey! Have any experience with thicker trackbars for a t2? Ive seen them for sale. Yellowish in color with pu bushings. Do they improve drivability?

      Is it the original sway bar? I would imagine it needs to be narrowed as well? Or did you purchase another one?

      3” with small modifications to the shock mount on the lower trading arm. 4” if you relocate the mount on the trading arm.

    Hi sir I have an early bay window bus I installed my custom air ride however it affected the castor front wheel angle which makes it hard to control over 60km per hour the bus is all over the road 📐 .I need to bring the castor back to about 4degrees as now it's negative any advice on how I can do it ? Will the castor being negative make the bus hard to control ?

      Hi.
      If you adjustable caster nut will not take it, the only way to get it back is to move the beam itself. This will take some work to do, as you have to make you mounting holes bigger to move your beam. If you don’t have one with that adjustability
