    as above guys I'm after some info, we have spent all day trying to figure out why the ae86 steering arms don't quite bolt up to the ke70 ones...

    if anyone has some info that I'm missing out on, it would be greatly appreciated as my car wont be moving until we have it sorted.

    thanks.

    yep. u need 86 knuckle arms.

    or for a quick/cheap fix, you can use xt130 or te7x ones. theyre longer, so you wont wanna keep them, but theyll get you moving again.

    yeah fuck.

    oh well.
    lets hope i can source some locally asap.

    thought this would be the case...although its my mistake for not having researched beforehand...

    sooo annoying though, got my disc t series lsd in today and that went smooth as, i guess it was only a matter of time before something didnt go in my way.

    cheers for the info guys.

    its even better when you have the ae86 steering arms all ready to go, spend ages getting the stock ke70 ones off, then get it all back on to realise you put the ke70 arms back on cause you got them mixed up when they were laying on the ground, so have to do it all again :whistling:
