struts and arms help

[albertos]

i ve put some jdm sprinter struts and brakes in my ke70 but they dont bolt up at the bottom?there about 3mm out .will they bolt up to ae71 steering knuckle? and do the sigma arms need the ae71 balljoints put in them or will they fit on sigma balljoints,,,,,thanks

[driftae86]

the stuts wont bolt onto ae71 knuckles either, you need ae86 knuckles.

i found that out on my car.

[poh_86]

a good upgrade would be ra40 arms, the steering arms from that will fit as well

[albertos]

thanks fellas,,,but do the ae86 knuckles fit on the sigma ball joints or do u put the 71 balljoints in

[driftae86]

people use sigma arms in 86's all the time so i would say they do fit.

[Gilly]

ae86 arms fits sigma balljoint as long as its the press in balljoint.

you'll need sprinter steering arms for sprinter struts ke70 and ae71 ones are smaller in the bolt hole spacing due to the struts being a different size.

i have heard you can use corona xt130? sttering arms but can't 100% confirm this

ended up putting new balljoints in the sgma arms, toyota ones wont go in them,shaved down the bushes,elongated the one end of the ke70 stearing arm 3mm prob a dit noughty but fits snug then drilled new sway bar holes 40mm in from sigma hole and 10mm to the rear becuase wheel sits further forword////is this right ,does anyone have wheel alingment specs for this set up, and im making new tierod ends tomorrow 40mm longer

the xt130 and ra40 knuckle arms bolt on to the ae86 struts

thats right. should give you around 4* castor depending. on the 70 i have 4* castor -3* camber. have cusco strut tops for a power steering model ae86, so i get a little more castor there. camber ajustment is ajusted in over half way.

you might have to trim your guards at the front to clear the wheels with castor ajusted that far positive.
