Hysteer modification for SFA
Anybody made any progress with regards to a local (RHD) hysteer conversion?

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Waiting for feedback from Manie, Allan did a losteer cross-over conversion on his lux... but it appears the turbo has interfered with a CV joint over the weekend...

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Thanks for the update.
A turbo interfering with a CV? weird
reminds me of my mate who was in a race and when I asked him how it went he said "car broke down, electrical problem - rod came through the block and knocked off the alternator!"

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
I had a good look at that crossover conversion at Allan erarlier this week. Very slim plan that & considering the costs of the import stuff, most definately the way to go. Will just wait for them to test further and then.........

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Steve my thought was to make a 'kit' of sorts out of it, I would prefer the steering box to sit a little higher, therefore necessitating a bracket of sorts... that way the pitman arm and nut will be bit further out of harms way...

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Sartan... sorry Spartan... my thought is for me to experiment, remember my steering is already poefies, and then once we've got a 100% solution, then make the blue-print available for all to see, copy and improve... Allan's setup is very simple, and simple is great, but I'd like to attempt to something just slightly different... complicate it like only an Engelsman can do...

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
If I'm not mistaken, the import kit provides a shorter Pitman and corresponding steering arm to overcome that problem.Mr_B wrote:Steve my thought was to make a 'kit' of sorts out of it, I would prefer the steering box to sit a little higher, therefore necessitating a bracket of sorts... that way the pitman arm and nut will be bit further out of harms way...

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Jy moet lees sakkie, dit is wanneer die hele steering meganisme bo die vere sit in stede van onder die vere waar hulle kan seerkry. Om die goed te maak is nie so groot issue nie, dit is die tyd en n lekker workshop soos wat jy het om dit te maak waar die probleem inkom. Werks plek en tools het ek maar dit is die tyd en die geografiese ligging wat my van my goed skei op die oomblik, En die engelsman is net onbetroubaar punt

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Jy kan n hoop geld maak en n goeie diens lewer, sonder om die manne te roof soos die 4x4 shops, as jy sulke goed begin maak wat werk en dit vir die local mark, dit is hoe ARB begin het, in sy garage, en jy weet die goed is reg want jy toets hulle mos eers op jou blou Van en van daaraf is dit mos net copy en paste. Daar in Suid-Wes het julle mos baie tyd jy adverteer op die internet en die manne bestel oor die net, jou geld is veilig want niks word gestuur voor die velle nie in die bank is en bevestig is nie, jy het nie n winkel nodig wat jou ook geld kos nie, jy het mos n workshop, en die ouens kom na jou toe nie anders om nie.hi-hilux wrote:Ek sal met liefde help

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
You know if we stick together and start doing all of this our-selfs and share info we will cut allot of cost, maybe get one or two guy's that is setup all-ready and support him and get a beter price for being part of the clan we will do the same as the guy's abroad and have a brilliant product that work, made for us by us like they did.

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Just for correctness sake ... those pics are an example of LOW-STEER x-over steering because even though the draglink is high, the tie-rod is still below the leaf packs.Mr_B wrote:Ok ok... forgiven... but next time... I kill you... met 'n brood mes!

For further interest even a millimetre fault on the length or angle of the home-made steering arms will result in incorrect steering geometry. Those values are absolutely critical and if incorrect will result in toe-in or toe-out on turns even once the alignment has been set. :problem:

Yes, and that is why the low steer conversion is easier, because you do not touch the tie-rod, so wheel alignment is not affected.

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Of course it is easier .... I only make the comment to avoid confusion because nowhere does lo-steer get mentioned and the topic line refers to hi-steer.

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Sorry Andy, I mentioned in the previous discussion that Manie's setup is lo-steer, and Manie is right... this conversion makes alot of sense simply because it does not alters the steering geometry, with the removal of the draglink the steering is also more direct, which many people prefer... I would like to do this same conversion on Bolt... fact is that a good condition 2nd hand SFA steering box costs 5K+ and the full seals recon kit costs 4.5K alone... an excellent condition IFS steering box(as used in this conversion) costs 2.5K... the IFS steering box bolts on to the SFA using existing chassis mounting holes... so essentially one new steering link is made up(from the pitman arm to the rhs steering arm) and the rhs steering arm is modified to accept a tie-rod joint...

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Ja nee, Bretton ... I'm aware of all the ins and outs ... covered the issue long ago with BlumTRD's conversion. Of course the lo-steer is easier and less modification required. In some cases there is not even a steering arm modification made to accept the new x-over draglink, the steering damper can be removed and the new link is just bolted onto the tie-rod where the damper was. Alternately a new mounting point can be made on the tie-rod.
Many ways of doing this.
The advantage of hi-steer is that the tie-rod is lifted out of harm's way .... how many guys have damaged tie-rods in rocky terrain?

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Luckily I do not do any extreme driving, so I have never managed to make marks on the tie rod. The nice thing is the turning circle have been decreased dramatically ( or it feels like it anyhow ) and when I drive over a bump the autoted reaction of steering to the opposite side now lands me on the pavement

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
No doubt about it Manie, it's a better system than the old push / pull setup .... don't know why Toyota never changed it right in the early years. There is also no doubt that we will see a lot more of these conversions as the old steering boxes start giving hassles.

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Update,
As suggested in Missouri Man's conversion, the nuts in the chassis are not up to the challenge. Mine are now bushes instead of nuts
Will be doin some welding and grinding on the weekend to make the setup better. Also the steering box DOES sit too low, needs another 20mm movement upwards, because leafsprings does not like folding over steering boxes.
Will try post pics when done.

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Torque rod can be dispensed with on a cross over steering .... no more bump steer issues and even axle tramp has little or no significant effect on the steering. It just gets in the way anyway.Gunta wrote:I am also keen on doing this. What happened to your torque rod?

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Torque rod...Gone...not needed anymore...was only there to prevent axle from twisting and causing the steering to be "turned" by it. The axle now works like the rear axle

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
The pics showed are Cross Steering
not Hi-Steer
Lower beam needs to be above the spring pack
To do Full Hi-steer you need these arms
And as the pics show you need an ifs steering box

Thanks Manie, I'm going to make a bracket like that as well... I would like to find a way to mount the steering box a little higher, get the steering box pitman arm nut/shaft a lift more out the way of the leaf pack!

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Bretton, soos myne nou is in vergelyking met hoe hy was is 1000% beter. As jy die ou fotos vergelyk sal jy sien. Ek het probeer om die pitman te laat raak, met geen gelukMr_B wrote:Yes and I saw you too...ThysdJ wrote:En ek sien jou...Maniac wrote:Ja Thys...ek hoor jou

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Hi, baie goeie idees gesien. Ek is in die begin staduim om 'n Pajero met IFS om te bou na 'n Hilux SFA, maar poog om kronkelvere te gebruik. Die Pajero se IFS is soortgelyks aan die bullnose van Toyota, inteendeel lyk dit of Toyota die idees van Pajero gekopieer het ! Sou ek die projek suksesvol deurvoer, kan die idee van 'n SFA op die bullnose ook werk. Nou by die pitkos, ek is gelukkig dat die diff ratio op die agterste ewenaar van die pajero ook 4.875 is. Die SFA word omgebou na cross over steer, maw ek gebruik die pajero se powersteer. Al probleem wat hier pla is dat die tie rod op die pitman arm baie beperkte beweging toelaat. Land rover coils,panard rod en drag kinks word gebruik. Spasie vir die panard rod is baie beperk,maar daar is ook 'n plan te maak. Alle brackets wat die IFS ondersteun is reeds afgesny, al wat ek behou het is die steerbox brackets, maar die lineere hoek van die box moet ook verander word. Tyd is baie beperk en die projek sal sekerlik 'n paar maande neem. Fase 2 is 'n V8 rover 3.9 met die 5 spd box van toy en fase 3 is die cab van die RN series van Toy. Die pajero onderstel is 'n swb .

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Sluit sommer 'n paar fotos in sodat ons kan sien wat jy daar aanvang!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Hysteer modification for SFA
Dalk kan iemand my vertel hoe om foto's hier af te laai vanaf my selfoon'n nokia E72. Huidiglik is dit maar nog net 'n afsny en skoonmaak proses. Ja, ek weet van julle ouens sal seker nie veel beindruk wees met 'n Rover V8 nie, maar ek gebruik die enjin omdat ek alreeds in besit is van 'n redelike enjin met bypassende belhousing. My ondervinding is dat 'n rover maar effe aan die flou kant is vir werklike krag en is die balans in 'n Hilux nie veel uit verhouding nie. Ek sou hou van 'n Lexus UZ3, maar elektronika, verkoeling en gearbox probleme laat my koud. Ek het 'n Safari box oorweeg, maar die is net 'n 4 spd en die bellhousing na die rover is nie beskikbaar by Gilo eng nie. Ander probleem is die hilux transfer na die safari box. Jul ouens moet onthou ek bly naby Keetmanshoop in namibia en al wat maklik verkrygbaar hier is, is coke en chips.
