FINALLY! SPL Parts Tie-Rods Are FINISHED!

[Nismo_Freak]

Only $145 Shipped!



When the front suspension is dropped, the altered suspension geometry can result in bump steer - the suspension steering itself as toe changes when the suspension travels over bumps. Adjustable tie rod ends can restore the correct geometry of the tie rods and reduce bump steer, by adjusting the length from spindle to pivot point on the tie rod end. Our tie rod ends feature the longest adjustment range of 1 1/2" (adjustable in 0.2" increments) and large 5/8" bearing and all steel construction for strength. Our tie rod ends are matched with 12mm thick Z32 OE tie rods that are stronger than OE S13 or S14 tie rods, relatively low cost and easily sourced.

Note: These tie rod ends must be used with Z32 tie rods, they cannot be used with stock or other aftermarket 240SX tie rods.

Construction:Bright plated steel5/8" 2-piece teflon lined chromoly rod end ~15,000lb static load rating

Sounds like its just the tie rod ends, and that you have to get Z32 tie rods. Or maybe im just reading it wrong

Yeah but you can still get the complete package for $204 shipped which is $92 less than what the above guy spent at P2M.

could you explain briefly how these work. looking at the picture i just don't get it. thanks

[cdlong]

using some or all of those spacers on the top left you can move the position of the pivot point. that allows you to fix the geometry in the steering linkage caused by lowering the car. the rod should be straight and level from the steering rack to the spindle, if you lower the car too much the rod will point up a little and cause bump steer.

i'm debating getting these because i need new rod ends and my car is lowered a bit (sportlines). i haven't looked to know if it is lowered enough to warrant adjustable rod ends. if i don't need the adjustability i will just get a tein set because they are cheaper and are greased and sealed so they will probably last longer on a daily driver.

ok, so if the tie rod angles upward from the rack to the end then these would cure bump steer.

yep

the basic idea is that if the arc followed by the tie rod and the lower control arm are not the same throughout the suspension travel, then the tire rod will create an unintended steering action

When will the high-angle type be available?

I'm experiencing this right now, its pretty nerve racking, you have to be on the ball with steering.

hey if we were to purchase the package nismo, what kind of z32 tie rods are included? are they brand new, reman, etc? also which year z32 would they be off of? last but not least, this bolts right up after removing our stock ones on the 240s correct? just gettin some of the general questions out of the way............

Yeah it all bolts up.

When I was at SPL we ordered tons of different tie-rods trying to find the best ones. However since I've left I'm not sure which tie-rods he is using but I can assure you 100% that they are going to be excellent quality.

They are brand new tie-rods.

yes, when will the high angle type be available????

is there a long enough threding on the z32 tie rods to allow for the use of a spacer? are these as strong as the tein tie rods? if they are as strong and have the "extended" or longer thread than the s13/s14...or are at least as long as teins threaded section that attatches to the rack....then i would have no problem picking these up.

about the rod ends, how do they compare to the kazama ones? can you adjust them to the same point as the kazama ones? (kazama ones are adjusted for lowered cars, but are not adjustable) are they as stong?

[Nismo_Freak]

The SPL units are stronger than the KTS, Kazama, and equally as strong as Tein.

However the Teins don't have bumpsteer adjustment.

[eddiec]

so what would make these "high angle"?

[egan]

the tie rods themselves are just stock z32 tie rods. i dont believe they are high angle, i just wonder if the thread is long enough to put on spacers to make them high angle.
