Hey guys. Have 2" lift on my truck. Just wondering if anyone know which land cruiser caster correction bushes will fit a kzj78?
Some guy over in Australia is selling some caster correcting bushes for $130 on trademe plus shipping but he doesn't know what a kzj78 is. Last thing I want is to buy some bushes that doesn't fit.

Sorry Alan haven't had a chance to do any looking for you.
Been a bit busy setting up for the 24 hour Easter Challenge.
I am sure someone on here has purchased some in NZ.
The last set I used were OME.
I think they are the same size as the 80 series ones and are defiantly the same size as the Nissan ones.

There is a better way of adjusting caster than using correction, or offset bushes. Check out what Calvin (kbushnz) has done with adjusting his bolt positions in another thread.
The issue with offset bushes is they reduce the amount of flex that you can achieve. This limits the suspension travel on a Prado, as bush flex is what gives, to allow the suspension to work.

Hey Calvin, no worries mate. Just thought it would be good to take on this guy on trade me since it would be pretty cheap compare to nz shop pricing.
Cheers IcedJohnno, I have seen Calvins truck in person and I would love to be able to do the mod that Calvin did to his truck but with no engineering skills I am back to using offset bushes.

why do you need correction as its only a two inch lift by the time it settles it will be more like 1.5 inch
or did the wheel alignment machine say it needs one??

Ever since I have lifted the truck , on the motorway doing 100k the steering seems really light. Just see that the topic has been brought up recently maybe that's what I need..
Currently only running 30" AT tyres at around 80kph there is a slight vibration but once I go pass that it's sweet again..
Maybe I don't need it but just seems in the past few post about people recommending offset bushes after lifting the truck

I'd be looking at wheel balance first, I'm running 30"AT and 2" lift with out any issues.

Wheel has been balanced recently. I mean it's not bothering me and if people think its a waste of money the I won't bother. Just thought that for $200 to make the truck steering less sensitive at high speed then it's not too bad of a price to pay .
