I said before that the inner tie rods on my 96J were bent. Not only that, the inner tie rods that were on there were the wrong ones. They were about two inches too short, according to RockAuto and Spicer Autoparts. Mine are 329 mm long (the new ones), the old ones were 289mm long. Where it was clear what was causing the horrid toe OUT, now it looks like I'm going to have horrid toe IN.

Can someone tell me the exact measurements of the proper inner tie rod for the 96J30 (non-touring) model?

It looks like they put in a salvage Rack & Pinion, and it might be from an I30 or a Maxima (same thing). Can someone confirm that these are all interchangable with a J30?

Thanks.

Ok. Figured it out. Rack was a salvage rack off of a 95 J. Who'da thought that a 1year difference would mean a $40 difference in parts.
