Re: which steering knuckles for TA23 with corona front struts
Sat, 21 February 2004 09:58
ahhhhhhh, it gets worse. i took my measuring stick (vernier callipers) and the lower arm to pick a part today to make SURE i got the right ones this time, i couldn't find any steering knuckles that fit my lower ball joint but i did find some ST140 lower arms with steering knuckles which looked like they'd work sweet. took them out, took them home, bolted them in, started bolting up the strut, my disc is pressing against the end of the lower arm the lower ball joint hole in the arm is offset the wrong way so i can't use it. i ended up bolting up a combination of stuff just to get the car back on its wheels (i have to move it tomorrow) but its definitly unsafe (i'm moving it on a trailer, just need to roll it on, roll it off). going to have to sort it out when i get back from aussie. grrrrrr!
current total of wasted money on steering knuckles and lower arms: $68
