I am trying to find this exact same Question out now?

1. does R32/33 GTR have the same front outer tie rod ends?

2. Do they even make an aftermarket replacement for these or do u have to buy genuine?

3. If as a last resort i have to buy genuine, can anybody reccomend a nissan dealership who is reasonably priced to purchase these from?

any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Daz.

how much were they?

late....but same. I could not find aftermarket (ie reasonably priced) front outer ends. inner end is available and it is most likely to wear (big nylon bush)

aftermarket rear tie rod ends are available, both inner and outer end

what brand aftermarket do you get and wea bout in syd you get it from usually?

[Duncan]

honestly didn't pay any attention to the brand, it was generic korean/chinese/whatever. Have been running them on the race car for about 2 years now so they are good enough quality.

got them through John at UAS, very reasonable price

There is play in my front left tie rod. Looks like it's the outer end or the ball and socket that is moving around. Always heard a sound there, and after 3 wheel alignments you'd figure they'd let you know you got play in your steering tie rods

Not sure on the make, but found this front outer tie rod end for skyline online. Duncan you mention the most likely to wear is the inner end which is this one right?

What is the recommended thing to do. To just replace the part that is worn (in my case the front left outer tie rod end... I think ), or do both outer's and both inners all at the same time, then get the car aligned??

[Duncan]

yes tht second pic is the bit i mean. there is a nylon socket in there which wears badly. In my experience that is always more worn than the tie rod end

Hmm ok. Took my car to a local shop today. They jacked up the front end and OMG, the amount of play in my left wheel was scary and looked quite dangerous. The movement seemed to be all in the outer tie rod itself and not the inner. So maybe the nylon sockets in mine are ok... or they are on their way out as well. I don't know how to check that. The most the guys have done in the shop is move the wheel. You can see how much it moves, and from the inside you can see the ball socket outer tie rod thingy moving around as well. Not sure what to do next.

The other side of the car I've been told is perfectly fine. But I'm feeling like maybe I should just buy 2 of them, and get them both done.
