Is wide track's steering arm that goes to the steering box to the diff the same as a narrow track one?






i want to start getting stuff for a wt diff swap, ive got complete nt diffs not sure on what to get i know i need twinstick offroad spring perch kit but not sure if to get complete wt diffs or to use my nt diff parts?

[foolsp33d]

well you will need WT axles n diff housings for starters.. brakes are the same afaik. search for Bogfrogs build. he recently done a NT-WT diff swap, with NT spacing..

you will need longer brakelines also, mine was fine for around town, but dropping off a gutter pulled the front tight... you will need, the housing's, axles and steering links (coily steering arms fit).

if yours is a 1.3 NT your centers will be 3.9 and if it's a 1L nothing will bolt together.....

I have done this in the past also. But the metal is usually so fatigued its not a great idea to re-use them. And its a pain in the arse to cut them off without destroying the mount or the axle tubes.

I'm not worried. And I wasn't trying to sell shit to you. Just highlighting the issues with recycled spring perches.

I don't think so. That arm attaches to the tie rod end, which on a WT diff is possitioned further away from the steering box due to the extra width of the diff.

[dougies_tx5turbo]

ok thats what i thought i just dont want to think i have all the parts
