looking for a shorter pitman arm than 70 or 80 series for crossover.
Was looking at a 2wd hilux one , but i think the taper for ball joint
will be hilux [smaller]. l have 70 series drag link with the bigger taper.
Can the taper be made machined bigger or is there a tierod end to suit ?
cheers Matt

Sorry I can't give much info but I know that I'm running a 75 series draglink with a 2wd pitman. There is a TRE out there. Actually I think it may be a hilux driver's side??

in my zook i have an IFS hilux box with a feroza/rocky (cant remember which) pitman arm. Using 80s TREs. I did have to get a taper/sleeve made up to suit the 80s TRE, as the TRE hole is larger on the pitman arm.
The Pitman arm i am using was the shortest i could find, with the same spline as the toyota boxes. It was also the flattest. Im told thier made by the same company as the toyota steering gear.
