Pitman Arm from USA

Post by MudLux101 »

will an aftermarket pitman arm from the USA for on an australian model??

I understand that the LHD High steer arms dont work (angle the wrong way) but what about the pitman arm? specifically the http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/ one.

Ideally what type of drop do i want on my arm??

The car is an LN106 with an IFS steering box to be added. do i want a completely flat arm or still one with a little drop but less than the standard IFS arm

Cheers

If you haven't yet mounted the steering box the why don't you just rotate it to give the neccessary clearance using 80 series or hilux pitman.

this is an option. from what i have read, 80 series arms are hard to come by on there own. mainly asking because im am traveling at the moment and have access to all the goodies USA has to offer and can simply bring them home.

Just need to know what the best option is for a pitman arm and then see if its all in my price range. if it is its a goer!!

interesting..... this is the route i was going to go but didnt think it would work as everyone seems to run an 80 series arm.

Do you have any pics of the front setup on your rig??

Have you extended bumps stops or anything like that?

Thanks
