Description
The Land Cruiser 100 Series with IFS have experienced issues with cracking of the lower control arm around the area that the Torsion Bar torque arms bolt to, due to the high torque and impact loadings passing through the torsion bars and the lower control arm. The reinforcing bracket is a folded plate that when bolted on, strengthens the lower control arm in the area where cracking is experienced. We recommend fitting a Torsion Bar Strengthening Brace on all 100 series IFS regardless to whether they have any aftermarket components.
We offer a great range of bracket to aid in either strengthening or supporting identified ‘weak’ areas of the vehicle. Most of these ‘weak’ bits are as a result of the changes that have been made to the vehicle with the upgrade in strength of other component, addition of accessories, lifts or the way you use your vehicle! If you were driving like standard street, none of this strengthening would be necessary… but because you try to out do your mates taking a rocky track, and put additional stresses on your vehicle, then these are something you should really look at!
