Is the sj pitman arm needed when fitting the jimny
Steering box?

Yeah, i just fitted the Jimny box. Used all SJ parts.

Don't think the Sj pitman arm fits the Jimny box? Just use the Jimny one

Cheers dudes.

My mate cut his jimny arm off then found the sj one doesnt fit.
So welded the slot up on the jomny arm and refitted it. But i could
Swear id read somewhere that the arms get swapped.

Ive got a calmini dropped pitman arm i was keeping around incase
I needed it but if it doesnt fit the jimny box ill sell it.

I've got a calmini drop pitman arm fitted to my zook, it's a great bit of kit x100 better than a z link bar!

You're spua anyway so you would never need to run a z bar

Yeah but even with a minor lift its good practice to keep your drag links parallel isn't it?

Up to around 2" lift is fine with stock steering, anything more then it's best to run a drop pitman to reduce the drag link angle.

Z links don't do anything to reduce the angle, only purpose of a Z link is to stop the drag link hitting the springs when spoa, the steep angle caused by running them is why they have such bad handling.

I just drilled the Jimny pitman arm as there's no hole for the SJ steering damper bracket to fit to.
