Gasguzzler Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 ive also heard these things have weak steering if you lift them up. can anyone confirm this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 welcome to the site im running 32s on mine with just a 2inch sus lift the body lift has yet to come theres nothing realy that you have to do with the exciption of moveing the steering spline out a weeee bit oh n may be longer brake hose in the back. Make sure you use grade 8.8 bolts as a min when you get the required longer ones and when you drill out the body lift bushes i would put anticrush tubeing in them as well. Do one side at a time. yep will get some pics up when i get a chance. really impressed with how well these things go. is there a guide to doing a body lift around here somewhere?? i understand how it works just wanting to know if i will encounter any problems also. will i be able to run 32's with a 2 inch body lift and 2 inch suspension lift??

kiwipete Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 is there anyone in nz that produces the reinforcing brackets for the terrano idler arms?? No one here makes these, but would be a piece of cake to get something made at a local engineering firm, or do it yourself. Here is a pic of the Calmini one on my truck.

long Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 What is inbetween the idler joint and the reinforceing bracket at the bottom as a non grip washer ? i would assume a teflon type wahser so there is no drag between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually feels like a rubber washer, I cannot tell properly at this stage, I will have a good look later when I remove the wheel to do my oil change and service. I do remember I had to loose a thick metal washer to get the nut to screw back on fully though. It is a captive nut.

It is definatley rubber anyways. While i was greasing the ball joints I noticed a split in oune of the outer boots. looks like I have to spend a coin again, bugger it.

Gasguzzler Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 any tricks to removing door cards without tearing the clips out of the door card itself?? is there a tool that you can buy to pop them off?? also are the factory front speakers 4 or 6 inch?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasguzzler Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 is it quite common for the terrano torsion bars to sag over time??? planing on winding mine up 2 inches and im just wondering if i wind it up 2 inches from the sagged height or 2 inches from the factory height (if that makes sence)!! :scratchhead: also will i need to buy longer shock abosorbers or will the standard ones do the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerranoNZ Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 IIRC the front speakers are 3x5 or 4x6 I just pull the door cards off with my hands..... Haven't damaged that many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
