GQ Tie rod ends

[oondy]

I posted this on 4WD Monthly as well but:

Well no auto parts store seems to be able to help me with locating the right tie rod ends for my GQ.

It is a 1995 but has what i believe are the early GQ Tie rod ends - the ones with female threads and a locking clamp thing built into the thread.

I have had 2 different Tie rod ends sent out to my local Repco to have a look at and both times they've been the late GQ/GU ones - with the large Male thread on the end of them. The first time the bloke ordered the one for pre 1992 (i think - not 100% sure of the date he said but was early 90's) and the second one was the later type - but both were the same - different part numbers yet both RH Tie rod ends - apparently there isn't even a LH one listed by the manufacturers.

Is anyone able to help me source L & R Tie rod ends please? - without resorting to nissans inflamed prices that is.

cheers

Are these for your drag link or tie rod arm?

My drag link is a solid bar one piece non adjustable unit and my tie rod arm has tie rods with male threads.
Its an 89 model.

[oondy]

Its the Tie rod - my drag link is as what you're describing.

The ones you have shown i think are off a Ti model. A mate of mine gets his from Autobarn L&R hand, I think off the top of my head the price was
60 bucks each. The local manager from Autobarn gets them from a company called Roadsafe. I could get the part numbers if u wanted?

My tie rod ends have a male thread.
Would they be Nissan ones?

Sure hope there the right ones mate, I paid about 30 bucks each for my ones and they were male threads.

[oondy]

well the bloke knew the ones i was after coz they get them in for "some backyarder" - i reckon its for superior, but they were the part numbers he gave me and yeah about that price too.

Any idea what the thread sizes would be for the ends of the control arms to suit the female type tie rod ends ( the rod safe one pictured early on in this thread ). So I can get my mate to turn some up on his lathe.
Thanks

The thread sizes are 30 x 1.5 Left hand and Right hand which is good so that you can adjust on the truck or just cut them both one hand and get the correct hand tie rod ends to suit
