So you

What is the cross shaft center bolts measurement from center to center.I have several diff sizes availble and can sale you new ones or i can just build you a new set.If you are interested just let me no.I have all the complete parts avalible to do it yourself.

yeah i dont know if you remmember but your bag brackets broke so i re bagged it and made all my ownparts and about that time is when i got new upper rod ends cause when you did it they only had a few threades in it so i adjusted them and pulled them in now they were great so all you can take credit for is welding on 4 d tabs and saying i should try useing them so just do me a favor from now on dont tell any one you even touched my truck cause all you did is weld on 4 d tabs and which i had to re weld thank you very much

when was the last time it was free i payed you for the parts or did you have amnesia at that time

I built the uppers on the Taco with only camber adjust. The castor is adjusted on the lower arms. If you bolt the "dog-bone" to the mount with no shims and make tabs that line up with them, it will keep the geometry "clean."

I know you are probably not going to use a heim joint for an upper ball joint, but it is another idea.



As for using heims on the dog bones in "single shear" like TwistedMinis is talking about, BE CAREFUL. Single shear mounts are prone to failure. If you don't use a high grade bolt and address it properly, you can really screw stuff up. If you don't know what "single shear" is, look it up. You need to know.

max, i tried to look up single sheer but it brought up some weird stuff... before i just ask you to explain it to me can you tell me more of what i should be looking for? like "single sheer suspension"? "single sheer mounting"?

thanks

josh, what parts do you have? i want to make my arms look like these mustang ii arms as far as bushings for mounting and all... but i want it to mount like the stock toyota ones because thats what i have.. so it needs a different cross shaft plus my stock arms are lengthened an inch so i cant just buy a set.

You can get a balljoint reamer and modify your spindle to fit.

Where can you get these balljoint reamers from?

ThanksBen

should be able to get them at an industrial tool shop. Look for places in the phone book like "Smiths industrial tool supply" names like that. If that dont work check the internet they are about same price just have to pay shipping.

I have all the parts availble for you to do it yourself.I have 2 diff size cross shafts and and bushings and sleeves that slid on the shaft to weld the tubing to for your arms.I also have the screw in style rings for screw in ball joints so you can make them like mustang II arms.
Or if you give me the length i can build you a set and send them to you.

just let me no.Its almost just as cheap to buy the arms as it is the parts.

I THINK SPEEDWAYMOTORS.COM SELLS THE REAMERS.
