Re: Terrano steering, here we go again...

Giddy mate, I used Toyota inners. And Nissan outers. I am currently sorcing a tap so I can change my Nissan adjusters to fit the Toyota inner. The issue is the thread pitch is the same, but the Nissan is slightly smaller. It has worked because the Toyota link has a tightening sleeve as the adjuster ...

Re: Terrano steering, here we go again...

Hey guys, No Was not a direct bolt on set up. But defiantly close too. And I would say the Navara option will bolt straight on. Had the truck out a few times and has been great. Took it up Murriwai beach to the bombing range on Saturday and found a lonely bloke hydrolocked at Kaipara lagoon. With ...

Re: Terrano steering, here we go again...

Well!! What a difference. Got the surf one in. Using Nissan outer tre's. No more toe. Runs true. Doesn't catch. Although at full droop the drivers side might. Will get back to you on that. Drives beautifully. Solid, no bump steer. Heaps tighter than the stock setup which was only a couple of months ...

Re: Terrano steering, here we go again...

Cheers for that Simon. Will get hold of you when I get a free moment. Possibly Sunday? The surf draglink an ross I ordered arrived today. Slipped them in next to the existing. Bang on. There is about 2-3 mill difference in the centers. And the surf draglink just has holes either end, no ballpoint ...
