Mines the same a couple of trips and it feels normal again Wink just slightly more prone to over steer due to the camber change.

Yes it is more prone to over steer, just making sure everthing is ok by lifting it a little on the front (hopefully i don't need to turn balljoint round)

I have +2" on the front of a mk1 (less travel than a mk2) with no camber issues, a flip would help with down travel but would necessitate the use of a decent spacer behind the fulcrum pin.

the other thing is travel beyond what the CV was designed for [i]must /i] put more strain on them.

Hi, i tried to follow your link to lifting suspension but the link does not work for me, any other info?
A quick description on how to do the front is all i need, just a guide on where on the vehicle to find the bits I need to adjust etc,,,,Thanks

the bolts are the big ones near the top of the pic

Them are the ones, also remember to measure everything before you start and its approx 4 complete turns to 1" of lift.

Just a quick question, are the rear springs for a LWB stronger to deal with extra weight over a SWB?

They are the same springs afaik, and there isnt much difference in weight 3.1 SWB 1900kg LWB 1985kg,
so there is probably only an extra 45kg on the back axle.
