Shock Boots

Shock and Steering Stabilizer Boot Banner

These days most shock manufacturers sell the boots separately. Boots are optional, but highly recommended by SOR. Installing boots with your new shocks you will prolong the life of your shock by preventing rust build up on the chrome piston shaft which will damage or destroy the seal prematurely. Hot ticket...buy the boots. Sold each. Available in Black, Blue, Red, and Yellow

Center Arm Repair Kit

SOR Photo SOR Photo
(click for large picture)

The factory Land Cruiser steering system was designed mainly for off road use. That is the reason why FJ40, FJ45 and FJ55's have a center arm assembly (aka - bell crank, idler arm, steering pivot). The center arm was designed to absorb the shock or energy from the vehicle hitting a rock or bump in the trail as not to beat up the steering box. So as the miles go on and on, the center arm takes all the abuse. Please refer to your factory Toyota Chassis Body manual for repair procedures.

#096-0A - Specter is happy to announce that we can again offer parts to rebuild the early type center arm assembly. The Toyota kit has been discontinued for some time so no parts have been available to rebuild them. This new kit contains just the parts required for a rebuild, the bushings, the races, the felt dust seals and the o-ring. This kit requires that you reuse the center shaft, brackets, hardware and both woodruff keys.

#096-0B - Rebuild kit comes complete with all the internal parts needed to do the overhaul.

Service Tip: Center Arm Rebuild
Does your Land Cruiser wander all over the road?
SOR Photo SOR Photo
(click for large picture)
Does your Land Cruiser wander all over the road? Do your tires catch lines in the road and follow them? Sounds like it may be time to rebuild your Center Arm Assembly. In order to check the condition of your Center Arm Assembly, have someone get inside the car and turn the steering wheel back and forth. While this is being done position yourself in front of the car and watch the movement of the Center Arm. The Center Arm should pivot on its own axis and not move side to side. If it does rock from side to side it must either be adjusted or rebuilt. Remember to grease the center arm prior to adjustment Please refer to your factory Toyota Chassis and Body manual for repair procedure. Specter Off-Road recommends that when rebuilding the Center Arm Assembly you also install a new steering stabilizer to prevent further wear.
