Radius Arms & Castor & Camber – Restore Stability & Steering After a Lift

Radius Arms & Castor correction parts bring back factory-like steering feel and tyre wear after fitting a suspension lift. Correcting castor angle improves straight-line stability, self-centring and braking control—especially with larger tyres and added accessories.

Geometry Correction Options

• Corrected/Offset Bushes: Cost-effective caster gain for mild lifts (≈ +2° to +3° typical).
• Adjustable Radius Arms: Fine-tune castor and wheelbase; heavy-duty joints and bushes for durability.
• Fixed-Correction Arms: Pre-set geometry for common lift heights—quick, bolt-in stability.
• Drop Brackets/Arm Mounts: Reposition arm angle for big lifts while retaining OE arms (platform dependent).
• Hardware & Bush Kits: HD bushes, bolts and washers to refresh worn mounting points.

Radius Arms & Castor – Quick Comparison

How to Choose & Install

1. Measure lift & alignment: Confirm current castor, camber and toe after your lift kit.
2. Pick a correction path: Use corrected bushes for mild lifts; choose fixed or adjustable arms for heavier builds or fine-tuning.
3. Consider pinion angle: On solid-axle rigs, castor changes affect diff pinion angle—balance against driveline vibration.
4. Finish with alignment: After installation, perform a professional wheel alignment and road test for self-centring and stability.

Example: A wagon with a 50 mm lift and 33" tyres can run corrected bushes for +2–3° castor, while a heavier build with bar/winch benefits from fixed-correction radius arms for consistent geometry.

Fitment & Compatibility Guide

• Bush quality: Use high-quality rubber or performance bushes to limit NVH and maintain alignment.
• Clearance: Check tyre/wheel clearance on full bump and lock, and verify brake hose routing.
• Fasteners: Torque bolts at ride height to avoid preloading bushes.
• Complementary parts: A steering damper and matched shocks sharpen stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much castor do I need after a 2" (≈50 mm) lift?

Many solid-axle 4x4s drive best with total castor around +3° to +4.5°. Check platform specs and tyre size.

Will correcting castor fix the steering wobble?

It helps stability and self-centring, but also inspects bushes, wheel balance and the steering damper.

Do adjustable arms change wheelbase?

They can. Small length changes fine-tune axle position. Verify tyre clearance and prop shaft angles.

Are corrected bushes enough for heavy accessories?

Often for mild lifts. With bar/winch/dual batteries, fixed-correction or adjustable arms hold geometry better under load.

Do you ship radius arms & bush kits across Europe?

Yes. OFM4x4 supplies and ships castor correction bushes, radius arms and hardware throughout the UK and Europe, with local stock options for faster delivery.
