RE: SER1 Drag link needed, make that lingitudinal arm

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2005/06/14]

Tom,
Well, I should know better and consult that parts manual.   All Series I
longitudinal arms are the same.  I may very well have the wrong lever
arm too, but the basic geometry is correct: top and bottom arms at 90
degrees.  The steering box is so far away from centering that I don't
thinks variation in the arm would help much.  As my truck has a Series
II tie rod, cut, shortened, and welded together, I'm fairly sure I have
a Series II longitudinal arm as well.

So, off to try and find a Series I longitudinal arm in the States, then
try England.

Many thanks,

Randy

The drag link is the same for all Series 1 86,88,107 and 109.  So
assuming that you have a Series 1 and not 2/3 link, your problem may be
more complicated.  The answer might be in the upper steering lever arm
which is specific to the 107SW. It is possible that at some time someone
has changed your steering relay and swopped this part with it . The
difference is not obvious unless you know about it.
