Has anyone had these castor washes fitted with success or do you also have issues with the car slightly wandering to the angle of the road ?? . I cannot seem to get the car in a comfortable driving situation without having to hold the wheel with a light grip. Being back to the aligners a few times without much success.

Hi morpheousssv, i have got similar issue wiht my ute. and have been told told to fit that offset castor washer kit, i am yet to do this as a few tyre rotations and wheel alignments have sort of made it better for time being. my wheel shop have said there is no more adj left in my ute hence why they need to fit the offset kit. let me know if you go ahead wiht it and keep us posted with results pls. cheers.

Definitely going ahead as I am a bit fussy and will get it right, by the look of the responses here I am going to be a bit of a trail blaizer with this one. Should have answers in a week or so on best option.

Received some new castor washes from the supplier this time with the holes in the centre, had them installed, aligned and problem now solved. Car drives straight, no wandering with the different road angles and under heavy braking all is good too. Steering feedback is better than standard. Supplier suggested some VE's fitted with the standard offset kits can be to severe in this case mine was.
hi morpheousssv, so just to confirm, did you go with the kit you posted pic of or did you order a new standard kit and get that installed? And does the standard kit have a hole in the center of the washers?
cheers buddy.

Gday Neb, Finally used a similar kit as posted except with the holes in the centre. The standard kit provides holes at one end to allow increased castor if your VE can handle it without driving like a shopping trolley. After install it gives you a more solid feeling through the wheel.
ok thanks mate. can you advise on where sourced and what brand of kit this is pls?
