Whats the other way to correct caster on a Toyota axle? Shims? With cutting and turning, you can set the pinion at whatever angle you want, and have the correct caster. You can't do that with shims.

If your doing a SOA, then you would be stupid NOT to cut and turn, since you are already doing half the work that mini truck owners would have to do (cut and reweld spring perches)

You don't see it in the minitruck world a lot because all minis are sprung over, where as land cruisers are sprung under, and a SOA is common for them.

The birf cups at the end of the Toyota axle have a tube connected to them that is sleeved by the outer housing. So all they are doing is cutting through the OUTTER housing weld, and turning the inner sleeve, and rewelding it.


Here's a good link about a cut and turn
