Steering drop arm

<< < (2/2)

Sharpshooter:
Well. So much for all drop arms being refurbishable. I got it off, and then found that the cap that holds the guts in was peened over. Got it back, and no groove for the circlip.
So i ended up holding it all in place with a vice, and tig welding the plate on the back.

Has done the trick. :D

hobbit:
until the box goes, you can change the arms to the other type and then change the fitment on the link arm, so that it works off a standard track rod end type fitment

I did this on the disco the other year, it eleminates the problem of chasing springs around under the vehicle, this is as long as you have the room to fit the other type of arm in its place
