Radius Arms Front?

Been rebuilding my Defender 90 200tdi on a richards galvanized chassis
Attached the front radius arms and it had made the diff sit at a very steep angle also making the spring cups lean forward
could this just be down to having not weight on the front with the engine and gearbox being out?

Have you fitted a lift kit?

Ive fitted old man emu springs so may be an inch or so taller once finished

its normal without engine ,spring plates do sit at a bit of an angle even with engine in

thanks for the advice will try getting engine and gearbox in soon as possible
hopefully pandard rod will sit correctly and fit aswell when its in

Mine does the same on a new chassis and hd springs, I've got engine, transmission and bulkhead on and it still does it, albeit not as badly. I wouldn't worry about it.

Its fooked you need a new chassis. Take it all off again quick before it melts.

Try fitting castor correction arms.

didnt really want to start fitting correction arms will see what adding the engine and gearbox does

If its lifted supposed to fit them so the axle sits properly

Don't worry until all the body & drivetrain is back onboard - it will settle considerably.
