High steer for coily

Post by Toj0 »

Have done the search and can't locate. My coily's now on Toyota diffs but getting alot of bump steer. I've raised the panhard mount and am looking at the following for the steering arm.

Obtaining an extra toyota passenger side tie rod/king-pin arm mount (for want of the correct term), grinding the top flat and mounting it to the existing with extended bolts. Maybe even welding the two together. Existing mount will still have tie rod attached whilst the steering rod will attach to the upper mount, hopefully levelling the rods and reducing bump steer. Cost - $20 for the mount.

What do people thing, what other options are there for a coily high-steer?

On a hilux this works perfect as there is plenty of clearance to the chassie. But on a zook unless you have a lot of lift and not much flex it wont work as the link will hit the chassie. Basicaly you need to make a flat arm that mounts on top of the stock arm. Get it tapered to suit the TRE and i would weld it to the stock arm and add a brace.

I have a 3" tower and 3" lift. Hopefully that's enough lift. With a 2" b/l, running 33"JT2.
