ball joint flip/terracan front end

Post by cookie monster »

just looking through the november issue of overlander and they have an article on suspension. anyway they have some pics of the terracan front end. looks awfuly like the paj(as it should as i believe it runs the same chassis). i did notice that they look to have flipped the upper ball joint(mounted it underneeth the arm).
question is : are the top arms the same as the paj? if so maybe the terracan upper ball joint would be a straight fit on the paj. if the hyundai engineers are happy with the setup then maybe it is a safe mod???

cookie monster, have you cut your droop stops? :lol:

Perhaps it's the scan provided, but it looks to me like the top ball joint still goes through the top arm.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to track down a real life Terracan, and see what it looks like in the flesh.

I do like the looks of their bump/droop stop arrangements. I wonder if the pics are of a stock vehicle, or has somebody been playing?

The ARB air locker for the NJ Pajero surpose to fit the Terracan.
I wonder if the Motors can be swapped.

Sorry guys, had the wheels off the Terrican today and have to inform you that it's balljoint is above the upper A arm, so exactly the same as a Paj.
