4WD starion

Post by scum »

just a thought, it uses front steer rack. cordia uses rear steer, if you put cordia hubs on backwards it might work.

Good plan.

Also remember that the L200 has a north/south 4WD configuration, so I'm curious as to how it does its steering.

Are there any complications with installing hubs 'backwards'?

as far as i can figure you will need 15mm more lenth on the tierods, but thats about it.

L200 steering = starion steering box setup.

But what makes it different? e.g. how the hell does that bugger avoid the front driveshaft/diff setup. I guess Ill just have to find an L200 4WD, buy it, and try to find what fits, if nothing, at least Ill have a ute to tow the Starion with :D

Its a win/win situation.

Just got $500 so yey, possibly the Starion can get new seatbelts, and working headlights! Going to buy an angle grinder too and open mr air can. Getting closer to new turbo time as well, it whines more than my last girlfriend.

it gets around the steering by useing massive bulky 4WD hubs on the front.
