Drilling out steering arm taper

[ryansescort]

Hi there, Iv got a mk2 escort with biger vented rotors which rub the tie rod end boots. So I'm considering going heim rod ends. I see in the lvvta manual you can drill and ream the steering arm taper for a through bolt. Is that part as simple as drilling and reaming the hole and show proof of it being done correctly? Or is there more to it than that. That particular section in the manual doesn't go very in depth.

Il be getting the rod ends and all associated parts from rodends.co.nz which supply all lvvta paperwork needed

Cheers

Hi, you will need to follow all requirements related to critical function fasteners as per the CCM Chapter 18 - Attachment Systems. You can download a free copy here - www.lvvta.org.nz/shop/chapter-18-attachment-systems/
