G'day, I'm in Australia. I own an R20 Terrano II 2.7TDi (the Australian imported model 1997-1999). I believe this is almost exactly the same front end (steering/susp) as the earlier WD21 Pathfinders. Does anyone know if the R20 Terrano II parts will allow me to perform this modification? I have a feeling that they will. I know that the stock steering arm on my R20 is the smaller 28 spline version which should fit the 2wd stud taper on the draglink. I also know that the idler arm is the same one used on the earlier WD21 pathfinders. There seems to be differing opinions with part numbers for tie rod ends between the WD21 pathfinder/Terrano and my R20 Terrano II. So I need to get a definite answer on those. Other than that I 'think' the conversion will work as everything else is/seems the same (including drag link control arms, uprights, shocks, torsion bars, brakes etc etc). I am currently running a full right hand drive Calmini heavy duty steering set-up for a D22 Pathfinder thatI imported from the U.S. What a big job!!! This required fitting a 1993 Pathfinder steering box and a lot of dicking around... It has never worked 100% due to incorrect ackermann geometry problems etc (it toes-in on tight turns, not toe-out as it is meant to). So I am considering changing back to the 2WD conversion and selling the Calmini system to someone with a D22. Thankyou for ANY help you can share with the conversion and the wheel aligment numbers you used. I am an engineer and have built rally/race cars in my youth, so feel free to use technical terms etc... FYI - This is a standard R20 Terrano II 2.7TDi Regards, Andrew.
