Hi there
New to the forum and have recently bought myself an 86 double cab 4WD D21, with the Z18S(i know i know, hoping to do a KA24E swap). Took it for a warrant today and it failed on a couple of things, the main ones being excessive play in the steering(rack/column) and secondly excessive play in one of the tie rods.
Now, what other cars share the front end/steering rack with our trucks? Would a terrano steering rack and if need be tie rod, fit? What about a 2WD navara rack? I am asking as there aren't many wrecking 4wd navaras around here that are wrecking, but there are heaps of terranos
Any help appreciated! Oh and the other thing, is there any way I can check the spline count of my free wheeling hubs without taking the covers off? No biggie if not, just checking as someone has offered me some 27 spline hubs off his terrano for a decent price, and mine are missing from the previous owner(he said they got noisy or something)
Cheers, and this forum seems mint, found heaps of info and am planning on doing a KA24E swap at some stage
EDIT: Just had a decent look through the forum and have seen how to adjust it, will adjust it tomorrow, probably should have before i asked, but none the less still would like to know incase the box is buggered.
