Yes, you can modify the late Ute steering arms. Needs a bit of maching.

Ute arms (H74) are faster ratio than Stanza/Sunny (W50) arms.

See Knuckle Arm for photos and measurements.
Basically widen the bolt holes from 75mm to 80mm and machine it for the strut hole.

i get slotting the outside bolt holes to 80mm spacing, but what needs to be done to the inside taper hole for the w50 ball joint? just so i can instruct the machine shop on what to do.

Unknown. Is there any difference? Give the new ball joint to the shop so they can machine it to suit.

Pitroad sells these already modified.
