AC Idler arm brace

[joshellis]

I'm currently in New Zealand and playing w/ a TD27ti powered PF/Terrano. About to order suspension goodies and wondering - Will the 4x4parts idler arm brace fit the RH steering setup?

[Desert89]

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. On US trucks the bolt patter is a mirror image on each side so not interchangeable. To be 100% sure look at your idler arm if the the 2 bolt side is toward the back of the truck you could use it. So looking at the idler the bolt pattern looks like this. Then yes.

If its like this then no.

manual steering box mod with Pitman arm would be better suited for you.

An idler brace made for a LHD Pathy will not fit a RHD Pathy. Does somebody make idler braces in Australia? I would think these trucks are popular enough Down Under that somebody would offer them. If there isn't one currently available maybe Tex can whip up a batch? I could produce them but would need a RHD idler arm assembly to build a fixture... and shipping cost would be a deal breaker.

Like others said, no.

The passenger and driver side are mirrors of each other so the idler brace will not swap over unless you can make a mirror version of it.

Cool thanks, I had guessed as much, silly question in hindsight of course. Will probably visit a local shop, otherwise keen to talk about having one fabbed up and shipped.

 

I love the D21 front end, very durable. Would just like to add a little extra strength to the steering.

 

This is the fairly simple setup:

 

7.50x16/31.7x10 MT

Manual hubs

Rough Country UCA

Reindex torsions

Stock front shocks

 

JGC rear

Rancho rear

Autolocker

 

No body lift

 

The engine is a different story - that warrants another thread altogether!
