does anyone know of a drop pitman arm that will fit a vit p/s box?
Does the cressida one fit or is that onto the sierra box.
cheers

You can use a Sierra 3" drop pitman arm from Trailmaster, it just has to be resplined to Vitara spec.

I have a feeling the toy arms fit the vitara . Have had an eye on an arm of a hiace van , hass a nice drop in it .
A guy here has been looking into this so will find out .

I had a quick look at an independant front end toy arm- no good.

they are available as an aftermarket production part.

US$119 = AUD$155 or so plus around AUD$40-50 for UPS air freight

YR21 Toyota Tarago fits the Vit spline perfectly.

Hi from another noob from NZ!
I'm putting a Celica / Cressida power steering box in mine at the moment, and I'm 99.99% sure the cressida box and Vitara box have the same splines, I just haven't physically bolted the two together yet.
The cressida arm should therefore fit, but its longer and has a balljoint in the end rather than a tapered hole.
I'm looking at putting a Vitara arm on my cressida box, but as its flat with no drop, I'm not sure if the balljoint stud through the pitman arm will clear the chassis.
I'm interested in the Toyota YR21 arm, but don't they have a different taper in the end?
How about the length? Are they the same legth as a zuk arm?
Also, the Jimny/Coily powersteering boxes have the same spline as a vitara/celica, but the pitman arm looks just like a Sierra one.
Chances are if you can find one of these though, you'd be fitting the whole box...

Taper is different. I had a sleeve machined that fit in the taper and accepted the stock zook tie rod end. Length is about the same as Sierra, with about the same drop (maybe slightly more).
