I had some time to stop at the wreckers today the size of the munual steering arms from a HZ and WB is around 122mm from centre of front mounting bolt to the centre of the tie rod ball joint hole. From a manual HQ and HJ is the same as retro64eh says 91mm Edited by user Tuesday, 11 October 2005 2:36:57 PM(UTC)
