This system is a new, complete replacement set designed to correct the chronic problem of a worn idler arm and center drag link. The system includes a new precision machined Pitman & Idler Arm assemblies from billet 4140 heat treated alloy. The new idler arm rides on full replacement 3/4&#34 pivot bracket using a much enlarged friction surface a durable Bronze bushing. Bracing the new idler arm to the vehicle is a fully incorporated idler arm brace that strengthens the entire unit. Also included in the system is a completely new Center Drag Link made from 1 1/8&#34 x .250&#34 wall thick DOM tubing.

The Center Drag Link is completely rebuildable and parts can be purchased from us directly. Lastly, the kit includes new replacement tubular tie rod adjustment links that due to the system&#39s change in configuration, are longer than stock. This added length helps reduce bump steer angle over stock. This system is simple, durable, completely serviceable, and requires no modification to stock parts or vehicle.

Over a year in development and testing, this new knuckle design sets a new standard in Toyota knuckle strength and reliability. This kit totally eliminates the problem of broken steering knuckles and studs. The addition of two studs in each arm effectively prevents the steering arm from becoming loose and shearing off the studs. The knuckle housing is also thicker than stock and larger gussets have been added around the outside of the knuckle for extra strength. Precision CNC machined, each knuckle is direct bolt on, heavy duty replacement. Six Shooter Knuckles are sold as a pair and include our set of special 6 hole shims for use between the top of the knuckle and the steering arm. Also included is a 1/2&#34 coarse thread bolt to help remove the steering arms for knuckle service. To remove the steering arms, remove all 6 nuts, then install the bolt in the top of the arm. As the bolt is tightened, the steering arm is pulled up off the knuckle. Stock lower bearing plates and shims from your old knuckles are needed for knuckle assembly. A minimum of four additional steering arm studs are needed for installation. No questions asked, lifetime warranty on all knuckles, arms, and rods. Knuckle and steering arms are sold separately. In order to install all six studs, both knuckles and steering arm kits are required.
