steering links.

Featured Replies

OK, I am looking to find out if the prev. owner may have put the short steering links in.

On A stock 240 how many turns is it from lock-lock ?

Since I'm not at home and don't have a FSM in front of me, I'm guessing here at about 3 to 3 1/2 turns lock to lock. I've got the short arms on mine at home, I can take a measurement if needed so you can compare the stock to the short ones. only problem is I won't be home till Tuesday morning. :cry: :tapemouth

Cool, no big rush. I think they are the short. Just wanted to know what was on the car. I have about 2 1/2 turns lock-lock now.

Well, now that I can look in the FSM, I was off a little on the turns lock to lock. The FSM says 2 3/4.

I measured the stock and short arms I have.

Stock overall length is 7 1/2 inches approx.

Short ones are 7 inches approx.

From the body of the strut where they meet the steering arm to the rear of the arm where the tie rod mounts is:

Stock- 2 1/2 inches

Short- 2 inches

Not much difference, unless you measure them you won't be able to see it. I think with the short arms the turns lock to lock was 2 on the IT car I had, right now I don't have one together to find out for sure. :ermm:

Thanks for looking that up. Now I know mine are stock. O-well.

I thought I may have been lucky on that. Now I get to add to that not so short list of parts.:ermm: But in the end its gona be worth it. :love:
