Ok it was the idler arm. And the new ones bushes are slightly bigger so don't go Ito the old housing. Prob just the model.

They are identical in arm length angle every thing, just the holes are wrong way round. Where on the sedan bolt is on top, on bracket it's down low and vice versa.




So if any one wants to buy a new idler arm.... Pm me, I had to use old one.

It's a new straight one from Dat sport.

I think it's the new idler arm that's the issue not the drag link. The drag link looks identical to the old one. Even entry angles of the tie rods to it.

So poped idler arm off before work this morning, will compare them tonight side by side. Otherwise it might be a bit til I get a new drag link for 120y

draglinks should be the same, but the aftermarket ones are usually off a 120y with a kink in it, whereas 1200 is a straight rod. You didn't import a USA left hand drive one?? have heard of issues with these fitting??

Ok so ute and sedan use different part numbers I ordered sedan.
What's the difference between the 2???

Sump won't worry me, it's the angle of the pitman arm to draglink and if its straight or lower on pass side and back a bit

I can take some pics of mine (everything new), but your sump will be different and might not help much.

So what dramas this going to cause if I try drive like this? Or should I just swap pitman arms again. Grrr

Any one got pics of their set ups

Bigger hammer and fork 5mins bashing no joy. Tried the broken ball joint puller and pop off it came lol.


Some thing not right pass side of drag link sits lower than drivers side.
Also I have to re do inner tie rods as entry angle different? Also if I put on full lock no tie rods connected it hits sump.

Don't remember this before. Also replaced pitman arm. Looks Identical side by side pitman and draglink. Weird.
Started raining so haven't hooked up inner tie rods yet.

C4 plastic explosive. make a shaped charge, detonate and it will be apart!
Not recommended in a residendtial area ;)

There's one arm left on the spliter. Not sure how effective it would be
