Pitman arm lengths

Post by LUXon37s »

Hi all

What is the longest pitman arm avaliable to suit my sas'd hilux

It is a '97 ifs box in the standard possie

I've been told an 80 series will fit but how much longer is it?

Any help would be great

ATMO I'm going thru this too- do you need better turning circle? As far as I know, there is an arm shorter than your IFS one that bolts straight up, then IFS one, then 80 series bit longer, then 60 series and 75 series being the longest. Some require machining to fit your steering box taper.

If you go too long your pitman arm will be pushing your draglink backwards (unless you have your box seriously forward) which I'm told doesn't do good things for steering.
