Im always looking at pajero content like this to see what i can learn and apply to the terracan. At the moment after 3 alignments and basically near ruined front tyres im seeing if i can get it to not wander with the canter of the road where you have to slightly pull the steering wheel to counter it (a slight annoyance at highway speeds). I swapped the pitman arm which was flogged (i spotted after 1st align) and that seemed to eliminate freeplay in the steeringwheel. Prying around with a bar (when on ground and jacked) the only thing that i could personally see were worn sway bushes. (Swapped em + links). Before i start throwing parts at it, buying control arm poly bushes + ball joints i might pay 30 for a pedders inspection and see what repport/suggestion they comeup with. Then touch wood if i can get her right i might see if its worthwhile trying to make it a bit more capable for the odd sandy island trip. Ground clearance isnt amazing, and in nsw the tallest tyre i can legally fit is 30" (but could probably fit a skinny 32"[235/85r16] without any problem). I am leaning towards the idea of a rear chinese e_locker (+hidden front winch). And a front cn elocker if that works out okay. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from shaun.

Mate, you're all over it.... well done on having a solid plan for the rig. I'm in total agreement with all you have stated. Nothing more satisfying when you give it a crack, have success, and learn stuff about yourself, your capabilities, and, of course, your truck. Thanks for your kind words and support.

I think they use the banjo bolt mate. I'd stick with genuine if you can. Or alternatively have them made up by a hydraulic hose company. When you're talking, high amounts of pressure don't go cheap. I don't mind a bargain by any means, but you need to pick your parts. The last thing you need is power steering fluid spraying throughout your engine bay.

Hey mate u reckon u went up to many splines/teeth or is that perfect ?
@dodgy_garage_4x4Ай бұрын
@troyaus6069 it's not really an exact science. It's really dependent on the condition of your tortion bars. I would think 1-3 splines is about average. Remember that the end result is really achieved winding the bar up or down at the other end. Re-indexing just gives you back more leverage when your bars are starting to relax with age.

I'd imagine the problem was that when you bought it they had oil additive in it like Lucas or some Australian equivalent and then when you changed the oil. Obviously you didn't add what they had added to it. A lot of folks do that before they sell a vehicle to get rid of the lifter tick.

Thanks, mate. I'm on 33/12.5/15 - 50mm 150kg Dobbinsons rear - I've relaxed the front tortion bars, backed them off, probably only 1 - 1.5" lift at most. I don't get binding, really, not that noticeable anyway. Do scub on the sway bar passenger side at full lock. What about a dif drop?
