LS MT3 42
Greetings.

I own a LS MT3 42. I am looking to purchase a Hydraulic Top link and a Hydraulic Side link.

I am running in circles, so I am looking for help and guidance.

Cat 1 Top Link:
1. Pin hole sizes: 3/4"
2. Length of mechanical top link: 16.9 - 25.7 in

Side Link:
1. Fork ends both sides
2. Pin hole sizes: Top is 3/4", bottom is 5/8"
3. Length of mechanical side link: 17.7 - 22.2 in

I have valve type couplers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 3 57, I bought my hydro top link on eBay, cat 1. Never thought about the side link....

Top links are fairly generic as long as the extended/retracted measurements work...
...Side links are usually a different story...look at the static side link and see if the angles of the forks (where they attach) are the same...usually they are different top and bottom...
A lot of guys that make their own side links cut the ends off their OEM static side link and weld them on a cylinder...

With the LS side link, you will not be looking for the complete unit as you have pictured, just the part that is below the lower pivot point as I have pictured.
I don't think that you will find a hydraulic top link to match what your manual top link is.
I recommend that you look at the following link, get the asked for pin-pin distance and get a hydraulic top link that has that asked for dimension as the mid stroke or as close as you can find.

Here is that link. Top link
