Trying to find Hicas tie rod ends...

[PMan_S13]

I'm having a little bit of trouble finding the tie rod ends that go on the hicas system on the rear end.

I would like not to go to a dealership if at all possible.

Everywhere I look they have the rear tie rods for all models except with the hicas 4 wheel steering.

consider some used ones? I know where a s13 auto hicas car is near me I could probably get them for you

I'm thinking about just getting new ones at the dealership. (I bet they don't use lube either)

I found out today that the tie rod ball joint itself is also gone. The outer is not a problem but you need a special tool to get the inner hicas tie rod off.

I'm just going to submit, thanks anyway bud.

what?

how do you know that the inner tie rod is gone on the hi-cas?

Because when I lifted the rear end off the ground I can shake the tire and feel it moving.

Got a buddy to shake it while I was under checking everything out. The spot that moves is the rod that goes directly into the hicas pump. That ball joint is just bad, pretty common among suspension problems. The blown out bushing barely even makes a difference surprisingly.
