shizzl Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Yeah everyone on mtnz etc says to pie cut the upper arms. drop spindles only happened for the next gen up unfortunately. i have seen those adapted to the 2nd gen but probably a stuff around. have also heard of hilux spindles adapted too.

shizzl Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Is it ok to pie cut the uppers to correct the ball joint angle? or is a custom A arm an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotormotor Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Guess you seen the fender bolts on Jays channel? Can I assume the ute was dropped off to a certain well known airbrusher in Feilding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone through cert process on my 90's b2000 with the pie cut done. Keep your required camber in mind when you do it. You can either pie cut a section out to make the arm shorter for more camber or you can cut/spread then infill to reduce camber. Tig welded by ticketed welder (not that i've ever been asked to provide evidence of who welded it) and crack testing required. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The upper arms on this can have the camber adjusted by packers between the arm bush bar mount thing and the chassis. Most have a couple of packers in from factory to correct the camber/castor. should be all g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
