Something that can get over-looked if you are, for one example, buying NEW Disc Brakes from the UK (with the good value exchange rate, many are) and even replacing parts on the front end, it is definitely worth check this out. The very Late Australian built Mokes had the UK MKII type steering arms but were also fitted with a UK MKII type steering rack. It would be highly likely by now that the steering rack has been replaced, possibly with an Australian one (The UK Racks don't last too well).
Many of the New Disc Assemblies will come complete with Steering Arms.
Shown here is the MKII type in the top and the MKI type lower.
These must be fited with a matching Steering Rack ie MKI Racks go with MKI Steering Arms.
The ones supplied with the New Disc Brakes will be the UK MKII Types. The Australian Made Cam Gears Steering Racks, which most of our Mokes will have, are as far as sizing goes, the same as the MKI type.
The Arms have slightly different lengths but more importantly, different Angles
The MKI one is on top with the UK MKII one below.
So, this will mean that you'll need to adjust your wheel alignment. Problem is, the Tie Rod End will only be engaged by (usually) as little as 4 threads, and this is worse if your Moke sits lower than standard or if you have adjustable lower suspension arms with negative camber dialed in.
There are several fixes for this.
The easiest is to fit Triumph Spitfire Tie Rod Ends. These are the same as our Moke ones only a little longer and the Nut these days takes a 17 mm Spanner
The one of the Left is the Triumph one and Right is the standard Moke one.
Another fix is to change out the Rod End of the Steering Rack with Morris 1100 ones. These where a little longer than Moke ones, but otherwise the same.
The upper one is the standard Moke one and the lower one a Morris 1100 type.
