Isuzu Parts Compatibility / Interchangeability / Swap over

[gomulletgo]

Hi Guys,

I've searched, couldn't find what I'z looking for. There are threads "will this swap on to this" etc. example: http://www.clubisuzu.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=519

Perhaps we should create a FAQ master thread that has all the answers in it? So members can quickly see what it is possible to swap between vehicles.

For example I want to know if the lower wishbone / A arm will swap over from a First Gen Isuzu Bighorn appx 2.3 diesel to a 4wd Second Gen Isuzu (Faster) Pickup? I also want to know if the front hubs, axles etc swap over from a First Gen Isuzu Bighorn appx 2.3 diesel to a First Gen Isuzu Bighorn 2.8 4JB1-T?

Cheers

1= think the arms are different not 100 percent though
2= no they dont fit hubs are smaller on 2.3 and cvs are tinny on 2.3

to fit your wagon anything from a pre 96 Mu (4 bolts in upper arm) Tie rods the same idler and steering box the same dont know about drag link

Following on from this,

Are the power steering boxes the same between Isuzu Bighorn UBS55 and UBS69 ? What about the MU?

TIA

[geeves]

steereing boxes are the same

[gomulletgo]

Thanks Geeves, based on what you said I just fitted a MU steering box to a UBS55

[geeves]

I did the same on the old ubs55

The rear diffs between mu's, ubs55 and ubs69 manuals and with disc brakes are all the same too?

[geeves]

All Mus have the same diff mounting but UCS55 has a disc handbrake and the mount to the diff housing is smaller than the UCS69 which has the drum handbrake (which works) You could swap the entire diff housing to get the better rear brakes

Thanks Geeves. The rear bearings of my 1990 bighorn start to getting worn and i looking for second hand complete axle shafts. I find a 92 mu and a 96 bighorn from the wreckers and both have disc brakes like my bighorn. Both will fit?
