Google Rocky Road before you buy from them, they arent known for their quality and reliability even in the states.

ta for that... ill just keep wrecker hunting... might even buy a whole car just for it :S

[zookprojectfnq]

I brought the whole car out of the local bargen hunter when I did my cresida conversion. Got it for $100 I drove it on the car trailer. Id ring up all the small town wrecker as the city ones don't seem to want anything under 1997.
I couldn't even give the rest of the car to the wreckers it had a really nice 5K motor in it.

yes thats why america don't work for most steering stuff....

i've got a 1 litre lwb box and the pitman arm seems different to the toyota one can this still be done. Great post by the way!

[31zook]

wow, cool looking zook in your avatar is it yours?

also, i thought that all sierra box's (from 1L-1.3 and all the years) were the same. it would be probly just the same amount of work to fit it to a 1.3swb as a 1L lwb.... only speculation....

yer wasnt thinkin hard enough bout that...

[31zook]

I've mounted up my cressida box, it's as far forwards as i can get it, and one of the bolts line up, thats a good thing Now im onto the pitman arm, what have others used? And im running a mini ruf, wanted to make it a full ruf, but the cressida arm is the same lenght and has a pin in the end of it.... the axle still has about 18mm to come forward, and im just confused.... i researched, but came up with nothing concrete.....









so what pitman arm do i need to go and get? criteria is shorter, dropped slightly and a hole in the end?

[daisy]

vitara pitman arm is straight and shorter and doesnt drop thou...

[31zook]

and if it's cast ill not be able to press it, i might have to notch the chassis.... ill see if i can angle the box much....

[BlueSuzy]

I have a straight vit arm if you need one. $20 + postage

I run the vit straight arm on my vit ps in my swb. Stock draglink. Taper is in arm.

[joeblow]

when you set one of these up try to angle the box so you get a good line with the shaft from the wheel and rag joint, don't be too worried about the pitman arm.

[mr.green]

you need a jimny ps pitman arm. i fitted one to a cressida box and a couple of tamworthians are using them on vit boxes. they are a pinch shorter (7mm) i think , than the sierra arm and have similar drop and being suzuki the taper is right. genuine part number is 48671-81a20 and cost me $134.40. had to wait a couple of weeks from japan. made a clamp type steering dampener bracket to suit.

[31zook]

im running twin uni joints joe, but will do so.

ill check my angles on the pitman arm to see if i can run a flat vit one...

[31zook]

timmy has a PM

[mr.green]

no, 7 mm shorter than the sierra arm.... ish

[31zook]

the vit arm worked so now im off to find one end of the power steering lines for a cressida and the other jimny end.....
