Articles on steering for a lifted 4wd

Post by scorched »

I have just finished my soa on my patrol but now have no idea on how to arrange the steering.
Im not keen to buy a full crossover steering system because im on the cheap.
Could anyone draw me some pictures of lengths and placements of rods?

Any good articles would be great.

Thanks

Cheap

If there is one thing that you DONT want to do on the cheap it's steering.

Is this thing a trail only rig?

not real sure about the patrol but i know on my 40series the nuckle arm on your passenger side swivel hub i got another one of them from the wreckers turned it upside down and bolted it on the passenger side on top of the other knuckle arm then the steering arm just bolts on to that come to think i'm not real sure which side i got from the wrekers but have a look at yours on both sides and see if it would work ;)

Mirror that image and you got it ;)

Flipped arms will be on the passenger side. Unless of course you are in the US :cool:
