I am converting my 73 fj40 frontend to mini discs (79 to 85?) already have spring over,? is I want to flaten my steering arms for high steer,what is the best way to flaten press or heat? how strong will they turn out, are they save? can it be done!!!!!!!!!

FJhead-

Buy a ready made arm or have a known shop make one up for you. good steering=life, bad steering=death.

(ooo, z link horrors....)

are you sure you need to flatten them? i've got soa and mini from the knuckles out and it's about the same as the drop only in a raise instead. flattening would've meant my springs were in the way of the arms.

Think you need to use spell check.
I would not bend, flatten, or do anything to your arms.

There are ways to bend the arms properly but to heck if I know how to do it... In the end you will be a lot safer and saner if you just go out and buy a set of hy steer arms. They are super beefy and can you imagine what would happen if you lost your steering while going 70 on the highway?????

Think about it. If you decide to homebrew a bent arm make sure that you warn us first....
:eek:
