Navara D21 Steering problems
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2006 3:14 pm
I posted a similar message on Downunders a few days ago but received not one response, so I'm hoping someone here will be a Navara Guru.
The D21 Steering is recognised to be a weak point of the vehicle and in the US Calmini and L&P Performance both do steering upgrade kits, which are unfortunately for Left Hand drive vehicles only. They are both totally different types of kit but both solve most of the inherent problems of the standard steering. Each uses a stronger and professionally braced Idler arm and a much stronger Cross Rod, doing away with the double Ball Joints on the Cross Rod and supposedly bump steer, tram tracking and tyre wear problems are eliminated.
Does anyone know of a kit available in Australia or even someone who may be prpared to make up one?
