TOUGH DOG ALIGNMENT PRODUCTS
Wilkinson Suspension stocks and installs a wide range of Tough Dog suspension alignment products. Find more information about some of the most popular ones below.
PANHARD RODS
Adjustable panhard rods allow the axle to be re-centred under the vehicle after the height has been modified.
Tough Dog panhard rods are bent from a single solid bar for strength, and are adjustable to cover a broad range of vehicle heights.
TRANSMISSION SPACERS
Designed to reduce tail shaft angle and remove driveline vibration that arises from an out-of-phase drivetrain.
The universal joints in a vehicle’s tailshaft must operate at the same angle to operate harmoniously. If the angle of one universal joint is different to the other, or the universal joints are forced to operate on an angle larger that within tolerance, the resulting vibration can be felt through the vehicle when driven. To restore the universal joints to harmony, Tough Dog spacer kits are available for vehicles that commonly suffer from vibration.
CASTOR CORRECTION
Castor is the angle to which the steering pivot axis is tilted forward or rearward from vertical, as viewed from the side.
Castor is important for vehicle steering response and stability. When a vehicle is lifted, the castor angle is adversely affected because of the change in the angles of the front radius arms. Tough Dog provide a range of products to adjust camber from two degrees through to seven degrees to ensure a reliable straight steering feel is maintained at any lift height provided in the Tough Dog range.
