syncro- different bottom wishbones on front 88/89?

Post by **toomanytoys** » 01 Oct 2007, 09:01

Looks like you could get away with a complete lower arm and the tie rod, may need the ARB link rods too..

lower control arms, tie rods and drop links are required to convert to late, CJ should have them available as a set.

right then,he hasn't looked yet to see if the 89 single cab parts truck has the same pressed bottom arms as the DOKA. and even if it is the same they might be rusted out too............

i'll maybe get to have a look myself tomorrow.

thanks again to everyone.

Hi,

they changed the gap between the washing-jets in summer 1986. Some busses get the old version in 1987 too.

The repair plates had all the "early" version, so sometimes you can see on a later model bus has a front repair.

early:

later:

I don't know if there's a difference for than on right hand drive buses.

Sorry I don't mean to be ofencive, Its just nice to be able to look at a reg plate to workout somethings age instead of having to know geeky facts of what changed when,

Yours, taking it all in and won't be able to pass another van without looking at the washer jets because he's a sad "bar-steward",
