I'm guessing you'll be meaning the kink in the rod. I'd say the picture in the manual was just done to keep it simple. This is a '55 rod in my '30. Its the same as the '30's rod. I'd say you've mixed things up and replaced the rod the wrong way round. The kink or offset goes towards the gearbox. Report
May 26, 201016 yr comment_440262 Do you mean the above pictured "rod"...... or the "rod" that comes throught the firewall and connects to the steering box? Report
May 26, 201016 yr comment_440271 Or do you mean the drag-link between the steering box arm and the pitman arm :happy: Edited July 31, 201016 yr by cuzzo Report
May 26, 201016 yr Author comment_440420 haha i mean the rod that connects the steering box and the idler arm together and has the tie rods coming off it , pretty sure i havnt put in on the wrong way as its the same as my other 55 and realy will only fitt one way , could be right about the manual trying to keep it basic, i was hoping i could find a straight one tho would help alot with clearance issues, maybe ill have to try some other toyotas ???????
