    Default xt130 LCA & Adjustable Caster Rods.

    Just a quick question.. I have been thinking If i change to xt130 corona LCA'S which are 10mm longer then KE70 LCA'S does that mean that my stock ae71 caster rods will be out? because wont the bolt hole's on the LCA'S be in a different place? so basically i would have to get a adjustable caster rod to compensate for the extra length? sorry if this is a stupid question..
    cheers. (:

    The difference in length required for the castor rods will be negligable, as stated the standard ones will be fine. Only reason to go aftermarket castor rods would be if you wanted more castor than the standard rods allow, or to use rose joints instead of rubber/urethane bushes.

    the standard swaybar links cause more trouble than the castor rods

    Is the idea not to redrill the lca as to keep the sway bar link and castor rod mounted in the same position?

    on 10mm longer arms, keep them as they are

    when you go 20mm plus then consider

    as above...

    until you hit +20mm and above, you can easily use the stock holes...i was using stock holes at +35mm, not good but do-able
