Yeah but the actual HICAS tie rod ends dont have the ball joint/bush part on them.... That part is actually pressed into the hubs (fkn pain in the ass to do too!)

well thats poop.

how you get em out then? brute force?

Press.... So yes, brute force :P

i am sure we are talking about the same part.... Lemme try find a pic of mine....

ill dig the report out when i get home, im doing a brake clean/rebuild and hopefully a hicas bar this weekend, (if anyone in melbourne has one i can buy!) so was planning to do that as well! it was a pedders bloke im sure he said bushes had gone on hicas.

3 pieces to worry about there...inner tie rod end (where there is a big nylon bush that wears), outer tie rod end (cast and lasts pretty well) and the ball joint in the hub (a bastard to remove, and hard or impossible to find aftermarket

Yeah I think it was around $70 of something stupid... If you have extra time try source through somewhere like Amayama.com to see if you can save some $$

    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows 
    • interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.
    • That's how it seems to me to. For the people that want huge power RBs (which it has been shown to do), this is great news, but that is not the same as trying to bring an rb 30 years forward....its not clear that there is a market of people who would pay 10s of thousands to do that
