Mmm nice.
And chomemoly rods too, sweet.
I will want a kit for sure later on in the year when I do my SAS.
If I had the money now I would buy it with my widetrack kit.
But it will have to wait for now.

One question as i have allready seen a set of these fitted to a hilux. Why is the flat section that the tierod hole is machined on the same plane as the top of the knuckle. It should be flat when fitted so the tierod points straight up and down.

Other than this question these arms looked great. I also like the idea of both arms having only one hole and the intermidiate steering link conecting to the drag link. This allows for a lot more flex with less bind.

The reason they are flat is as you explained with the draglink going into the tie rod it allows alot more wheel travel without the ends binding. The tie rod end angle only changes very slightly from full lock to full lock without any binding, therefore it isnt necessary to machine the top on an angle. If the arms had a double hole on the passengers side it would be absolutely necessary to have them machined on an angle so the draglink doesnt bind when articulating.

Hmm sounds interesting I hadnt noticed the single hole untill you posted that Ruff.
Can someone post a pic of the steering fitted up to a lux?

Also another Question I have is can a steering dampner be fitted to the High steer?
I have noticed that a lot of people running High steer dont run them.
Is one necisary or is it just a personal preferance?

Generally personal preference. Steering dampeners are normally a band aid fix for a different problem.

I have to agree with you here, I have tried mine with and without, there is NO differance. I still run it but only because I can.


Mick why are they 2 piece and not 1?

Sam just posted a few pics for you.

Our products are also available through Overkill Engineering.

We can make up some mounts so you can fit a steering dampener if you want one.

The other reason some fit Dampers is when running larger diameter tyres on the street that are generaly fitted to beadlocked rims so cant be balanced easy.


I have a Band Aid :)

They will all have to be modified as they will be totally different lengths to our kit.

Sell your rods to 83lux and buy our complete kit. :D

You wont have any issues with the tierod or draglink hitting the chassis. Overkill Engineering have fitted quite a few on solid axle swaps of different heights and has never reported any issues.
