Yes thats correct.. i can help with it if you like

The theoretical ideal angle of the panhard when sitting static is horizontal; so as to minimise bump steer... this is not always possible, and in your case may look crap. But depending on your spring rate and ultimately your wheel up travel it might be best to have the mount slightly above the axle ...

So does anyone know of a solution for this problem i have, without changing to an aftermarket pump. Im happy to go to a GU pump if it were to solve it... but im not convinced yet!!

Help guys

I have a mate that works at a Nissan Dealership as the spare parts manager, and he tells me that the specs of the GU pump are exactly the same as the GQ one... Now im lost...!!!

I have upgraded my Steering box to a GU one, which is a very common upgrade to the GQ. Since doing this it feels as if the steering pump is struggling to keep up - when trying to steer fast the steering wheel gets caught up (or notchy). Its very annoying/dangerous when driving fast through windy ...

Im with superior... Well if you want to estimate it then up to you. Not all 4" lifys are the same. Your call mate

The angle of the universals need to be equal to prevent any vibration!! So the angle of the shaft out of the gearbox to the tail shaft needs to be the same as the angle of the drive shaft into the pinion shaft on the rear diff. I can email you an autocad pic if you like. Email me and i can send to ...

I just did mine last week on my gq when i went across to GU front and rear housings shaped up some 10mm plate myself and welded in, it took about 2 hrs in total. I obviously had the housing out of the car anyway (due to the swap) but i couldnt imagine doing it with the swivel hubs still attatched ...

Hmmm.. very interesting guys. Viperguy the rims have performed well, other than the chrome rusting; but the load rating being higher may or maynot be related to the strength of the steel especially at the rim edge. I dont doubt that they are rated for higher loads and are thicker but this doesnt ...

I bought some Steel 15 x 8 King Wheels (Sunraysia Spoke Pattern) from a guy in Sydney who was importing them and selling them pretty cheap about a year ago and im wondering how they compare in strength to my second set of rims which are Australian ROH Trak2 Sunraysias of the same size. Reason for ...

Nothing personal, but i think the Cheezy bar is very weak toward the outer ends in a horizontal direction (which is where you need it)

What do u guys think of this bar??

Just because the nut wasn't massively tight .. Why does that mean it is fcuked? explain!!

I presume that if it is meant to be done up that tight that there is a spacer of some sort between the two bearing inners, otherwise the preload would be huge??

Well thats not what i found... I was warned that it would be very tight and so expecting it to be so. But I nearly face planted the work bench in my shed when it turned pretty easy and i had put a fair bit of muscle into it antisipating it to be bloody tight :/ ????

That would make sense to why the bearing cage is plastic, making it easier to get the bearings out of the race.... not sure if i want to pull the damn thing apart now though. So if the inner is a press fit; it would be very damn hard to set the bearing pre-load when pressing bearing back on axle ...

I am currently changing over from drum rear end in my Shorty to disc rear end. I have bought a disc diff housing and axles to match blah blah etc... but the wheel bearings have a little bit of grit and crap in them from laying around at the wreckers so while they are out of the car i want to clean ...

I have drum brake rear ender GQ at the moment and i bought a disc brake housing with axles, rotors, calipers etc planning swapping the on putting the drum centre in the disc housing.
Will this fit?
And what air locker do i need..... disc or drum style?

I've got a 75 series Troopy and looking into finding out any info on adding coil / leaf combo suspension.

Any help/info would be great.

geez mate dont pay $50 for just two washers..... I made my own it cost me fuck all..

If u want i will make u some and sell em to ya for $30

whats the go with the Swivel hub shims guys? I have a gq with bad front end shake and i have replaced heaps of stuff. (Control arm bushes front and back, Panhard rod bushes, steering damper etc) tell me about swivl hub adjustment please

pm me

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all is your truck a SWB or LWB if it is a LWB you wont need to to do anything once your 50mm springs go in , your brakelines and castor angle will not be efficted by the lift, you can go 3 inch in a GQ and ...

Thanks very much lads u guys have helped heaps!! I will now draw up my suspension geometry on Auto CAD and figure out my arm length adjustment to get the angles equal. If anyone else wants me to do this for em just let me know. I draw on AutoCAD all day at work and i have it at home too.. Thanks ...

Thanks very much that helps reinforce what i had suspected. One last issue though. Which option would therefore be the best for promoting Universal life..

I am sick of getting conflicting stories about tail shaft (universal joint) alignment!!!! I have a GQ shorty and am spring lifting about 4". All i wanna know is how the tail shaft needs to be put back to standard?? Is the priority, getting the two uni joint angles the same????? 1) out of the back of ...

more coils = softer thinner wire = less load carrying (i think) coils closer together at 1 end than the other = progressive rate spring my front heavy duty king springs (from memory) are 19mm diametre wire, with 9 turns, if this helps feel free to tell me i'm wrong about this, but only if you can ...

Gee wiz..... Do u guys really think that people would pay about 15-20k more for a new toyota for no reason?? And if you answer 'yes' then atleast give an intelligent answer!! Toyota pay far more attention to detail in many areas!! Open and close a door on a GQ and then compare that empty/tinny feel ...
