Do Silvia and Skyline adjustable tie rod ends fit the zeds? What brands are people using? I just bought rack spacers so now I need tie rods.
I had a complete tie rod kit installed years ago and it worked just fine until about a year and a half ago. I noticed that 1 of the outer tie rod end boots had a slight rip in it. I did some research and found that our oem outer tie rod ends are placed under undue stress when the car is lowered past a certain degree, What that amount of lowering degree is, I do not know. The remedy for that is a newly designed outer tie rod end that uses a heim ball joint instead along with a number of spacers to be used depending on the amount/degree of lowering/deflection is in play. These new outer tie rod ends were designed specifically for lowered cars. I've been using these new outer tie rods ends for over a year and a half now and did a quick inspection of my suspension this August. You can see this new outer tie rod end at the very beginning of my video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDkh6ZfLun8
