Im always looking at pajero content like this to see what i can learn and apply to the terracan. At the moment after 3 alignments and basically near ruined front tyres im seeing if i can get it to not wander with the canter of the road where you have to slightly pull the steering wheel to counter it (a slight annoyance at highway speeds). I swapped the pitman arm which was flogged (i spotted after 1st align) and that seemed to eliminate freeplay in the steeringwheel. Prying around with a bar (when on ground and jacked) the only thing that i could personally see were worn sway bushes. (Swapped em + links). Before i start throwing parts at it, buying control arm poly bushes + ball joints i might pay 30 for a pedders inspection and see what repport/suggestion they comeup with. Then touch wood if i can get her right i might see if its worthwhile trying to make it a bit more capable for the odd sandy island trip. Ground clearance isnt amazing, and in nsw the tallest tyre i can legally fit is 30" (but could probably fit a skinny 32"[235/85r16] without any problem). I am leaning towards the idea of a rear chinese e_locker (+hidden front winch). And a front cn elocker if that works out okay. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from shaun.
Mate, you're all over it.... well done on having a solid plan for the rig. I'm in total agreement with all you have stated. Nothing more satisfying when you give it a crack, have success, and learn stuff about yourself, your capabilities, and, of course, your truck. Thanks for your kind words and support.
Hey great video mate covered everything, you reckon it would be easier to do shims first when the control arm is free from ball joint, then watch it after shims are done ?
Hi, on standard shocks I would imagine they might reach their capacity on droop. But if you're doing anything like this, even adjusting the tortion bars you'd probably want to throw in a set of 2" raised shocks for extra travel.
Hi mate, I did my ball joint spacer too, and add all the shim, but the camber still a little bit positive, and the bolt for the camber shim is not enough long to let me add camber shim
Hi, the key here is longer Upper Control Arm bolts so you can add the shims. Alternatively, you could get spacers that aren't that high, i assume you have gone 25mm, or just flip the ball joints without the spacers.
@samulivasankari4342 Hi, you get 4 x 10mm shims in the kit. But you need to go to a tyre place and get a wheel alignment done. They will set the correct gap.
Nice to see another 2nd gen on youtube! Great video 🎉
Thanks mate.
Definitely making me miss my pajero. Great video
Go get another one bloke, go on... live the dream again, LOL.
Thanks for watching mate, appreciate your comments.
@@dodgy_garage_4x4 hopefully next year 🤞they are so under rated

@@troyaus6069 you could... but it's not hard at all to do with the ball joint connected either.
Sir, wherd you get the black rubber fender? Looks awesome!
Outback Equipment in QLD Australia. Look them up on the internet 👍🏻
Will this cause premature wear on the shocks because of the extra droop?

Understand it.. thank you mate
It's too bad there isn't an aftermarket UCA upgrade option for Gen 2 Pajeros.
There's a company here in Aus called Pajformance, i heard on the grapevine that they are looking to maybe fabricate some.
how much in which mills did you put shims?

@@dodgy_garage_4x4Does the suspension character change after installing the balljoint spacer? And is the upper arm still in good condition?
That was really interesting, How did it finish up. You happy with it?
Still tinkering with the tortion bars and the ride height. I'm off to Fulcrum this week to get the caster fine-tuned.
@@dodgy_garage_4x4 so when do the rock sliders come?
@@stuiescampingadventures as soon as the cash allows 😉
Any idea where we can source these for the US and not pay $100 in shipping?
Not sure mate, have you tried Amazon or eBay etc?
@@dodgy_garage_4x4 eBay is out of stock and Amazon is like $170 was thinking they would be cheaper
Did u have to extend those bolts for the shims??
@jarrodwareham4565 no, we didn't.
@ k bcoz I lifted mine an the bolts aren't longer enough for more then 5mm of shims
An it still need another 3 mil of shims
@jarrodwareham4565 that's alot of camber
@jarrodwareham4565 the kit comes with bolts from memory
Look the bull bars i want
@taukirihepi8350 It's a Bocar brand, I've never seen another like it to date though! It came on the Paj.
What's are this for?
Watch the video, mate. It'll make sense.
