Suggestions for Tie Rods?

[i2ice4m3]

I snapped mine about an hour ago and need new ones! I looked at a few tie rods online already.

1. JIC hard tie rods2. Tein hard tie rods3. OEM nissan4. Ebay Hard tie rods

My car probably won't see the track any time soon, although I do plan to keep it for a while so I can use it for the track later on. Right now i'm leaning toward the Tein set. Anybody have experience with them? I could use some input on the other options too. Thanks all!

teins are decent for a mild upgrade, im using them now. They come with the spacer for increased steering angle. The outers still have crap rubber ball joints tho, go with kazama ends if you want better stuff. But the teins are nice and cheap.

has your rubber boots ripped already? How long have you had em, and how much did you pay for them? I have never changed my tie rods before so think you can give me some pointers? My fsm isn't with me otherwise i'd look there. Thanks guys

I'm also rolling with the Tein tie rods .. both inner and out. They are deff beefier than the stock ones. I got mine off of ebay for 150 no shipping... they retail for 160 for a full set (80 for inner set and 80 for out).

Yes as stated above, they bring spacers for increased steering angle but u gotta be careful because not u have to adjust and make sure ur tires do not rub against anything .. I have to adjust the passanger side cuz when i cut hard right, it rubs slightly ...

for everyday driving its not a major concern but for drifting it is ..

No, they havent ripped yet, theylook a lil better than stock, but not much. For the install, just count the threads, make the new ones look the same, and drive to an alignment shop. The outers unbolt at the ball joint and drop down, and the inners unscrew from the steering rack.
