Stronger steering arm options

Post by RRV839 »

Went out glasshouse on the weekend and bent the tie rod like a banana and snapped the damper nearly in half. Took it off and straightened it with an axe and it got me through the track and home thoough.

What are my options for stronger steering arms and dmaper relocation brackets etc, i was looking at the rovertym ones becasue i was going to get a lot of stuff off them but the way the dollar is atm i wont be doing that for a while...Do white tiger (LRA) make decent ones or 3rd's productions or QT or something, i was thinking about just welding a sveelve over mine but id have to get antother one to start with casue i cant get it straight egough.

While your at it, convert to a county/defender style damper, you'll need the bit that comes of the rod end at the pitman arm, a damper and drag link is slightly shorter

M.R. Automotive in Redcliffe sell the new old Maxi Drive ones for $165. You just screw in your factory ball joint ends.

Also have a look at the RoverTracks damper relocation kit...http://www.rovertracks.com/products/steering.html

I bought one from them - minus the damper - and it is beefy. Much better having the damper on my Rangie up out of harms way.

Rovercraft can set you straight. They are in WA, Vic and NSW and I am sure if you contacted Stuart in the Vic office he could sort it out for you.

thanks guys for the info, i ended up taking the beefed up one of my modded 79" for the moment, i just had to spend $160 on brake lines for the front becasue they coincidentally split after having a wheel alignment and ballance....hmmm.
