Hilux steering rod

Post by salli »

HI i have just bought a 3rds productions heavy duty steering tir rod from hub to hub for my 1983 hilux and was wondering if anyone coulld tell me how long the tir rod has to be from centre of ball joint to the other sides centre of ball joint?? the adjustment will affect my toe and i can't go off my original tir rod as the tir rod end has been off tube centre and toe is unknown. Anyone could help me out even if u measure the original tir rod bar from centre of balljoint of both sides and tell me how many mm is it cheers Salli

you should get a wheel alignment afterwards anyway.

Just take your old one off, adjust the new one to the same length, install and get a wheel alignment.

Worked for mine.

i got mine from superior engineering, and it had an adjusting nuts on either end so you could get the right amount of toe in. to measure it, just get a tape measure and measure from the front of the front tyre and then the back of the front tyre and make them suit accordingly.
