What effects will it be on my ke35 to put this ta62 steering arm to my newly fitted struts (ta62) upgrade? I have to use them to the ta62's struts. But they are longer than the KE steering arms. Approximately 20 mm longer. Will I notice any surprises?

Less lock and slower steering

what Taz said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

..as Steve found out in the KE70 when he kept spinning it because there wasn't enough lock...

 

The strut holes look like they are a different width too.

 

Try AE86 power steering ones, as Steve did in the end. They bolted straight onto the RA40 Celcia struts.

Great replies! Yes the bolt pattern is different. Because of my english skills I'm not sure what you mean by "less lock". I thought it was that the steering wheels anti theft lock would have more play, but when Altezzaclub is talking about Steve who just kept spinning because of it, then I got lost... :-P

ra40 are still a long arm, if you want the shortest that is compatible with ae86/ra40/xt130 strut then use ae86 power steering arms.

And we mean steering lock, as in how far the wheels rotate to steer before they hit full lock, its like having two circles one larger than the other and with a shared centrepoint. A trip of 5cm total distance (steering rack movement) around the circumference of the small circle, will give more rotational displacement than the same 5cm movement does on the larger circle. Hence more lock from the shorter radius arms.

Ok! Nice! :-) then I shall start looking for another solution, like the ae86 power steering arms. Thank you, this was really helpful!! :-)

Is there any more compatible arms that will fit the ta62 struts? I'm having a hard time finding any Ae86 ps ones here in scandinavia, so a solution that is "less bad" than the ta62's arms would be appreciated. :-)
