[Jason]

I was talking with justin the other day and he meantion some one saying about another car having shorter steering arms that you can use? Is this true? Also are XT130 arms the same as ae86 (i know there not the same are ae71's)

Also wondering if any bodys knows where that webpage is of shitloads of suspention parts and dimentions. Had it in my favuoites for a wile?

Are you talking about what I call a steering knuckle? A forged steel arm that is about 150mm long? If so, I think the XT130 knuckles are the same as the RA23 ones, and both a bit longer than AE86. If you want short ones you want the "power steering" ones. Avaliable new from Toyota.

If you are talking about lower control arms (a pressed steel channel about 300mm long), then the XT130/KE30/RA23 ones are all the same and all longer than AE86/KE70.

yes im reffering to the forged steel parts. Dam i was trying to avoid going the 86 power steering arms http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif wanted some cheap upgrades http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif

I measured up some at u-pull it one day... all the cars i found were longer, except for possibly the mx73 cressidas, ( i think??? can't remember) but the bolt spacing for the strut should be larger on a cressy...

ke55 is shorter steering arm with a longer lca

I run corona LCA's with power steering arms. LCA's are definetly longer and the power steering arms are shorter (both good if you're after - camber and lock). It's worth saving for the PS arms IMO cause they fit straight up.

Hi mate, ps arms are definitely the shortest arms you can get to suit ae86 struts

yes but there is also another ps arm thats on an aus toyota that is shorter and fits an ae86 if u use the lower strut leg its made to fit with and longer lca

i was talking about comparing 55 to non ps arms on an 86

but can the ae86 struts bolt onto the ke55 arms?

the xt130/ra40 arms bolt onto the ae86 struts also ads like 10-20mm track
