Hi all,
Was hoping that someone could let me know how much adjustment your adjustable top control arms have on the rear of a patrol. And maybe even some dimensions/what brand you have etc and if they are adjustable on car or if you have to take off one end. How much ya paid etc What are they made of dia of material etc

If anyone had part no. for the nissan control arm bushes too that would be unreal 2

Any info appreciated

Cheers

i put them on due to the lift it rotates the diff backwards to limit or eliminate tailshaft vibration

Tanks Bartso,

I am going to get some on mine to correct the pinion angle.
I have a bout a 6+" lift and my pinion is pointing straight towards the back of the transfer (too high). Should be at the same angle as the one coming off the transfer if ya get what I mean.

I need to kick it down some to get rid of vibration when you back of on the hwy etc. It has only started since I put the 30mm coil spacers in and the pinion came up a bit.

I don't really like adjustable bottom arms as the adjustment point creates a weak point. Also not as nice a surface to slide over things etc. JMO.

I have some big arse lower ones on mine now that Superior Engineering are making. 40OD! Cool

So adjustable uppers are the go.

Cheers
Brian
