Hi all just started playing with 4x4 I have a 1991 Terrano lifted with 35" tyres great fun and just working through all the mods that need to be done with the steering as I have already bent two tie rods and an idler arm, so found that out the hard way.
Just fitting a steering damper now
I also have a spare 1989 Terrano for parts if anyone is looking for anything

Welcome.

35s are big for an ifs truck! Post some pics and update your profile with your location so we know where you are.

Yours is a 91' (smaller taper steering bits)so no mucking around with pitman arm tapers.

2wd Navara draglink will go straight on.

Remove the idler arm and throw it out, replace it with the main steering box from your '89 parts truck as that will also be the same taper.

Thanks Mate yeah I was thinking of using the steering box to replace the idler arm. Are the 2wd tie rods bigger? Stronger do I still use the existing main steering arm
Will post a photo as soon as I work out how to reduce the file size of the one I have lol new to this stuff

No the main steering arm gets tossed and you get one for a D21 Nissan Navara 2wd (any year). BnT or Repco etc
.
Draglink, crossrod, steering arm, centerlink, so many different names for the same item :lol:

Not yet but I see that coming with the angle they are on will keep you informed if fail, they are noisy when left in 4x4 on the road
