Pitman Arm

I was wondering how I can get a pitman arm that has a tapered hole to fit a fj tie rod end?
I am doing SAS to my 89 4Runner and I want to change it.

You can either buy the insert from sky-manufacturing.com or buy the pitman arm from Marlins.

Thats the only way to go? no others will fit the box?

OTT and SKY have arms available.

I might be wrong, but I thought that the 2wd PU's had a pitman arm with a tapered hole.

Quote(From DWT on Pirate4x4.com) Heres the difference. The arrow points to the master spline that the 2wd arms have that the 4x one lacks. You'd need to file/grind 2 splines off to use it and put a spacer between the nut and arm to make up the thickness difference. Otherwise its about a 3/4" less drop and about 3/4" shorter too.
The arm in the pic I posted came off a 90 2x with power steering.

I don't think it's tapered for the fj tierod end though, but I guess you could always have it reamed to accept one.

Thanks a lot, I might have to look into that. $Beer Chug\'n$

Actually, the FJ tie rods have the same taper as the PU TRE's. It is just the threaded shaft that had the bigger diameter. So, it should accept the FJ TRE.
I think this is talked about in the thread that I posted above!
Hope this helps.
