gday jono posted this thread for me as i had no credit....anyway....
i got 2 gu diffs and a gu steering box from wreckers to put in my gq .
problem 1; i think i have been given another gq box as the taper on pitman arm is from bottom to top not top to bottom ?? and pitman arm is a bit shorter as well
is the pitman arm the only difference in the steering boxes or did some gu come the same as gq?
NEXT QUESTION are the front control arms the same EXACTLY because my diff is now sitting forward more than it did before ,it has 10 mm spacers from my gq arms on it, but its about 30-50 mm forward
the bushes are seated correctly and i did measure the bolt/shank before i put spacer on , both were the same , so why is it so far forward now ??

well if its to far forward cant you just get the gq arms and try them.
or give somebody like mick at superior a ring or even shane at suspension stuff and ask em. they will be able to give a straight out answer.
but im also under the impression they are both the same. they are definately standard arms?

gq arms are attatched to the diff still and the bushes are rootedBeNoS wrote:well if its to far forward cant you just get the gq arms and try them.

no mate more or less they are towards the bottom they were pressed in as per the diagram/template and are the same as my others and the ones we pressed out !mattlux wrote:Are the offset caster bushes offset all the way to the front. Looks like in the pic that the bushes are offset all the way facing forward.

They are the same arms so weird why it would be further forward. Mine has 12mm spacers and spring sits about the same angle as your pic and havent had any issues.dazgq1 wrote:no mate more or less they are towards the bottom they were pressed in as per the diagram/template and are the same as my others and the ones we pressed out !mattlux wrote:Are the offset caster bushes offset all the way to the front.

has anybody else put spacers in and if so does the spring sit on an angle
now ?? how does it drive ?? im at the stage either pull it all apart again and remove spacers , or .......put it together as is and see how it drives
i guess . it still got me thinking WHY is it so far forward ?
cheers
