Power Steering arms V's Standard NA Arms

[RyGuy86]

Hey Kids,

Can someome tell me..

if you put a Standard steering arm next to a Power Steering arm..

I know that the PS arm is shorter... but by how much???

does anyone have the exact measurements?

[chapl]

are you cutting and re welding?

i wouldn't

[riojin]

powersteering arms take 3 full turns for full lock
non powersteering arms take 3 and a half full turns for full lock

Nah dude... looking at getting some custom ones made up that are shorted that PS arms so i dont have to mess around with spacers.

The steering arms are made out of hardend steel.. and if they are cut and welded correctly by an engineer.. there's nothing wrong with it.. as long as its done right.

people chop 86 LCas and blend them with s13 LCA's all the time.. so whats the difference if i chop stock ones?

ryan - just use ps arms, FFS

tried and tested

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>You can get them cut and rewelded but the expense of doing it properly would be way too high to justify it (properly qualified welder, crack test, US test, metallurgy test, engineers cert etc). If you need more lock or quicker steering than the PS ones give then go a quaife rack with the PS arms...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>LCAs are a completely different grade of steel that is realatively safe for most low skilled welders to weld.

ps arms are a bit different to lcas just get some ps arms off lawson

Search, it's been covered lots before, measurements that is.

you might wanna take some measurments of a P/S arm on the car, i'd be quit concerned with inverting the tie-rod geometry on full lock if you go much shorter in the steering arm

forget it ryan!
