After a quick answer if anyone can help me, started fitting up my brake kit this morning, supposed to be a bolt on afair with stanza/200b struts. And the caliper is fouling on the steering arm where the outer tie rod end goes through! but the question is, is the steering arm supposed to bend "out" to the outside of the car, or bend "in" towards the center?

I have them going outward at the moment and if they are supposed to be inwards then that will solve my problem.

Also is the steering bump stop supposed to be at the front or back? i may have them back the front as i got them in pieces lol.

Just thought id ask the question before waisting time

cheers

Inwards. Calipers are no where near the steering arm normally

Did you mount the calipers towards the rear?

Yep calipers at the rear.. I'll take a pic and post it up soon. I may have to swap em round

I should also add I have the hopper stoppers brake kit. Which has much larger calipers. They still shouldn't hit tho

They may hit. But the tierod end bit of the steering arm should be pointing in when the strut bolt holes are pointing straight ahead.

Might have to swap the struts left to right so the caliper is at the front

Here is a pic of the way i have the steering arms in.. this is the LH side too.




And here is a pic of the caliper hitting! its not even lined up with the mounting brackets as the tie rod end is fouling it.

That looks right. Just swap the struts around

hmmm yeh ill have to, i think the falcons must have the calipers on the front anyways judging by the L & R markings and positions of the blead nipples.

swapped em round nick, seems to have done the job. i should have looked at the braided brake line supplied. If the calipers were mounted to the rear it would have been way too long!

Also another qestion for everyone, what thread size is the hub not on 200b struts? im thinking around the 14x1.0mm or there abouts. My struts came without nuts so i need to source some
