Al,

When I was looking for one in Sydney about 7 years ago they were around the $500 mark.

It is also pretty hard to find anyone who will build one for you even though I don't think it would be too difficult if you had the right tools. Maybe one of the aftermarket specialist steering and suspension mobs might be able to help.

Just a word of warning, if you get one second hand have a good look at it. Particulaly around the ball joints. A good percentage of the few I saw had significant damage in that area and I question their safety.

Good luck
Duncs

I'm sure there are heaps of links to sites on drag on the internet, try also transvestites, she-male etc.

Good luck

Oh, sorry only read the title. Disregard!

Try Andrew from BIG O 4X4 on 0438 870 856. He is in Birdwood and spends a lot of time on Patrol 4x4 forum. He organised my 4" suspension lift; I'm due to get my truck back from him in about an hour or so.
If he can't get it for you, he may know who can.
Good luck

I just got my rig back with it's extra lift and am going to have to get an adjustable steering linkage, cos the steering wheel is almost 90 degrees from where it used to be!!! Airbag makes it a bit too difficult to simply pluck the steering wheel and re-locate it properly.
If/when I get the new arm, you'd be welcome to my OE one for a few bucks (if it fits of course........knowing how Nissan have a habit of changing components, this may not be the case).
Cheers
