Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have a 1984 hj47 and since i have bought it i have noticed that the pitman arm (arm that runs from steering box to idler box) rubs on the schockie is there a arftermarket arm available. I have looked and none of the arms are bent and i have rebuilt the steering box, idler box and all ball joints are new.

space your shock out from the tower to stop it rubbing... or get skinnier shocks..

i had this issue


made this


which did this:

shorty_f0rty thanks for that what did u make that bracket out of thanks for the picks and all very helpfull thank you

i made it out of 10mm plate.. just made some templates out of cardboard, stensiled it out, grinder, drilled

my original cardboard templates



changed slightly to this:


there was a hole for a bolt which went thru the webbing about 1/3 off the bottom of the shock tower.. stops it pivioting on the origninal shock mount bolt.
other peices yet to be drilled




i dont actually have a pic of it finished and in position so sorry about that.

other people have drilled out the rivets on the shock tower and put some plate inbetween the shock tower and chassis to space it out.

a better option is 60series steering to remove that drag link.

thanks for the help mate it's greatly appreciated I: was going to run 60 series power steering however a genuine 40 series ps box became available at a resnable price thanks again.
