R34 Tie-rod Ends Questions: R32/r33 From Pedders Useable?

[Andi]

Hey there guys,

Well it seems my tie-rod end bushes are split and are leaking grease so need a replacing, and according to this guide: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=107547

The tie-rod ends can be bought from Pedders Suspension for approx. $35 each. Pretty cheap compared to the $130 from Nissan. But on the Pedders site they have the same part number listed for the R32 & R33 GTS-T/GT-R but it doesn't have it listed for the R34.

So I'm just wondering then: could the tie-rod ends for the R32/R33 be used on my R34 GT-T? Any idea how much they might charge for labour to change it as well?

Cheers,

Andy

P.S - an allignment is definately needed after changing these yes?

Anybody have any ideas? I believe Pedders have a 12mm thread and 14mm thread version - any idea which one I need?

Need to go on a trip to Canberra this Friday so would like to get this repaired before leaving.

EDIT:

These are apparently the ones avaliable for the Skyline.

12mm thread 95mm long

12mm thread 101mm long

14mm thread 101mm long

Have only today and tomorrow to do the job. Does anybody know the answer?

Or how much tie-rod ends cost from Nissan?

get out to the car with the ruler and see which one they are? :sorcerer:

Ok well heres another question:

I've been given the 12mm version and it doesn't fit which means I probably need the 14mm version. But when the bloke measured the length he said mine was 95mm long.

If the 14mm thread version only comes in the 101mm length, can I use the 101mm version instead of 95mm?

Well just so people know: I got the R33 tie-rod ends but they did not suit the R34 as they were too long, so we changed the steering rack arms (since one needed replacing anyway) to R33 ones as well and they bolted up perfectly.
