joshellis Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert89 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 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. X X X If its like this then no. X X X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowser Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 manual steering box mod with Pitman arm would be better suited for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.510 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshellis Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 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!
