Have a look in FAQ, i'm pretty sure there is a link to a downloadable copy of the Australian Feroza - American Rocky manual. Or contact Simply PV and or Toyhatsu. They are both from the land of evil too!




The whole land of evil thing was just a joke.

Typical mudding machine. They come from the factory this way as an option.

Well, Land Rover has been using three links for years. The D90 has it front and rear I believe. Izuzu Trooper, Mitsubishi Montero, early Ford Bronco all used three links in the front or the rear. It's just two radius arms and a track bar. Pretty simple but so are leaf springs. In order to get good articulation with leaf springs on a Feroza the front hanger has to stick out quite a ways. You can use offset springs which would help. Look at Besty's spring over and my spring under. They stick out there. I wanted a better approach angle. For mudding it doesn't matter.

If you are good at fabrication (I'm not) it's pretty cheap. I paid $18.00 for the two `91 Range Rover arms on Ebay. They were almost brand new. Four new bushings at $12.50 each. I went with Fox nitrogen gas shocks (no springs at all) but I have heard of people using Ford Aerostar coils from the slavage yard.

Look up one, two, three and four link suspensions on Pirate BBS. They are not just for show but work very well if set up right.
