    I have 3 pairs of steering arms

    I suspect there ke70, ae86 and power steering ae86 ones


    The thing is, as you may be aware i've been screwed around with getting my rear shock mounts reinforced they took the car bak today and put everything in properly (raining to hard to go outside and check atm)

    he told my old man, that he hadnt changed the steering arms originaly, therefore he someone put ae86 coilovers onto ke70 steering arms... now that doesnt make sense...

    he then apparently changed them over to the power steering arms, and it all worked


    This is what my dad 'thinks' he told him as I was at work all day and couldnt pick it up.

    I have taken a photo of the 2 spare sets i have here, the bottom ones have R4 and L4 written on them and the ones on top have R6 and L6 writen on them.



    My question is, what ones are in my car atm...

    Thanks in advance

    R4 and L4 are ke70 ones, top ones look like standard 86 to me (same length as ke70).

    Take the top ones to the car and roughly measure them. If they longer than whats on the car, you have power steering arms on the car (and vice versa).

    ok, much to my disbelief it seems the 'mechanic'/fabricator' mutilated the ke70 steering arms to suit ae86 coilovers...

    they would of elongated the ke arms to suit the ae86

    that is very norty if done by a licenced mechanic
