fitting a set of 100 series diffs to the 40
and im flipping the front control arms as well , i want to know if standard castor plates can be purchased ?
instead of cutting and cleaning up the old ones ,even tho they have to come off
i know you can buy from toyota the main chassi mounts
or is it only the 2-4deg castor plates that can be bought ?
yes i have used the search too
cheers plowy

if your goin to the trouble of putting in 100 diffs why not ditch the radius arms? and 3 link it properly?

As well as flex and a comfortable ride
it was being set up as low wide and flexible and also as a capable tourer
i had not looked at a 3 link front end
how does a 3 link front end handle every day duties /touring /onroad life

stool im not sure if redzook is on about the front or rear end
but the front is the same 2 control arms and a panhard rod
unless redzook is calling the control arms radius
