hi there all, needing to replace the rubbers on my rear tie rod ends for rwc from what I have seen online better to replace entire ball joint unit as it looks a mission to remove them looking for some help please..... oem part numbers and aprox costs for ball joint units any non oem options that are rwc legal and prices and sources, referals any advice or cheats or past experiences be greatly appreciated many thanks Henk
Id run these. They are legal as they don't use a rose joint, its a bush setup. I didn't pass rego with rose joint setup, so avoid them. https://conceptzperformance.com/czp...o-tt-nissan-300zx-z32-cz-55154-z32_p_6996.php They are a little hard to get out the old ball joints. They are about the same cost getting these as replacing the ball joints, also check the arms while you are there for play, when i got my car there was significant play in each arm.
This is the part number for the ball joints at the ends of the HICAS. There are 2 per vehicle. Part Number: 55154-30P00- Description: BALL JOINT ASSY-REAR AXLE Prod. M/Y: 8907-9701
Madcow, when you installed that kit, and before you connected up the inner tie rod, was there free movement of this arm? ie was the arm able to pivot on the inner bush?
I didn't actually use that specific one, I used the drift works hicas delete kit which uses the similar setup. I didn't take note how much movement there actually was with my setup. However there would have to be some movement or some weird stuff would happen when it gets compressed.
