Hi just thinking about CC swivels as the way forward for my 2" lift as no vibes just a bit of vague and lack of self centering steering. Paddocks used to do them . But I can't seem to find anyone that does them anymore, which is strange. I've heard of people drilling new holes but this would need to be precision done as would slotting the holes so would probably rather just buy pre corrected swivels.
 
But have read that that's what causes the vibes to start as uj's would then be out of alignment, so solving one problem but gaining another. Cc swivels solve the castor problem while maintaining uj alignment. And if really picky, then cranked radius at the chassis end to cut strain on bush .
 
As James Martin said , CC swivel is actually the best solution and the proper way of doing it . The Aussies apparently go this way, but just cant seem to find any fir sale which forces you down the CC bush or Arm causing vibes which a you need to fit the DC prop to " hopefully " iron out this. This to me is covering up the problem as appossed to sorting the problem which is only the castor being out at the moment. But having said all that, it may be the only solution at the moment if they don't make CC swivels anymore :'(
 
Slot out the swivel & crank the back end of the arms it's the best way. You won't need a DC prop just a wide angle.
