mudmuncher Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hi all I brought a pair of heavy duty steering bar for my 1986 90 I fitted the rear one (hub to hub) fine The front one fits from the hub to the steering drop arm bracket; the problem is i unscrewed the bar from the drop arm bracket (which has the steering damper fixing point built into it ) but the thread on the is to big to screw into the heavy duty bar !!! Anyone else had this problem Many thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Sorry this is no help, but is of interest; what make are the bars? Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litch Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I fitted a set from Green Oval to my 1986 90 a few years ago and the hole on the Crossrod (the front bar) was not deep enought for the Crossrod Eye End (the bracket that the steering damper bolts to) to go in as this has an unthreaded section a couple of inches longer than the threaded portion. Normally this section would just fit inside the hollow tube but the replacement bar had not been drilled deep enough to take it so I just had it re-drilled to take the unthreaded portion. What make are they and have you spoken to the supplying dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbs Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Just out of curiosity the end where the drop arm bracket is-have you tried to screw in a track rod end as you may find that's what has to be screwed in that end and not the drop arm bracket?

Mo Murphy Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 ... and in that case it would probably be a Discovery track rod. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 And then you'd need a solid drop arm off of a discovery too-which then goes on to never having to muck about with that damn drop arm ball joint again lol John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
