Jono.C Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 There's a screw, with a nut around it, if you have steering play/ slop, wind the screw a bit and tighten the nut and try it again. Will be tighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbey Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 You can tighten the box up if it's not screwed. Or upgrade to a ke20 which is beefier and likely easier to find ingood nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyblueke11 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Has anyone done the ke20 box swap and what's involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbey Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I have a box ready to swap. Trawling the old corollas threads, it looks like its as simple as swapping the pitman arm and drilling the chassis holes out slightly to accept larger bolts.

ScottKE1X Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Has anyone done the ke20 box swap and what's involved  Stweart Ford has done this conversion in his ke15. I found a quote from him on the web  "drill out the crush tubes to the larger bolt size in the chassis rail, weld up a mount for the top of the column, in similar way to how the KE20 does (ie allowing the top of the tube to crush down), and then fit KE10 pitman arm"  Sounds easy enough...

philbey Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yep. Although drilling out the crush tubes doesn't sit well with me, I haven't looked to see how much meat gets drilled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldie Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Please,DO NOT drill out the crush tubes unless you are prepared to weld in new ones to suit your new bolt size(not difficult),they are there for a very good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19914afc Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 How would this go in an early corolla? http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.329203887119473.79025.118825541490643&type=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbey Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Would b doable. Might need to cut and shut the front mount bracket, and perhaps tweak the control arm rods depending on length. I'm not sur how you feel about cutting up 1200 bucks of gear though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
