[Dispatcher]

Hello..All..Happy New years...
I recently..converted the PS Box in my Cress..to the R/p type from a TT141..x-member and all..the problems is the tie-rods/end etc..is just too long to make the car driveable..what other tie rods and ends..can i modify to use any other toyota's? Any ideas appreciated...please see attached pic.

I can't help but to suggest going to the wreckers with a tape measure

Out of interest, did the TT141 crossmember bolt up? Or were modifications required

Cheers

Hi Wilbo..and the rest...as a matter of reference for the rest of you who want to mod their GX series Cressidas..to R/p power steering...yup..the TT141 is a direct bolt up..use the arms from the Corona as well...my problem with the Steering solved !!!!

Here's what you need to do. After installation..you need to change the ball head (tie rod) to the KE 70 model type (short one)..and then use the tie rod end..which is not too long..
so that the alignment would not be too much cross 'toed' She drives super now...and makes nice corners & U turns...

I'm now looking to change the old cressie wing mirrors to the retractable types..anyone done this before..? Appreciate any feedback.

Cheers

Hello...all. Just wanted to correct the statement below..with regards to the GX series Cressida...the model GX60/RX60 will take the TT141 cross member...

The Tie rod would need to be a shorter version..I.e. KE70..

Cheers
