Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Greetings

I am a newbie to Outer Limits & very unsavvy with mechanics & modifications. I'm from Jamaica & own a stock 1994 F300 Feroza SE RHD.

She's a little beatup but I love her. Very few people here are into modis for 4x4 in the way you folks are and nobody knows about Ferozas. I made a few calls for outer tie rod ends and I had a couple places ask if the vehicle was a Mitsubishi even AFTER I gave the make & model TWICE! UGH!!

Can anyone advise who or where I can query the possibilty of finding matching parts from other makes or models?

thanx in advance for any help & keep up the cool camaradie.

G'day and welcome to the bored...

I did my outer tie rod ends earlier this year and also looked hard for others but the only ones that I could find are the ones from Daihatsu, cost about $75 and $85 each but made a good difference to the amount of bump steer.

Good luck!

Tanx 4 da reply Croz - the numbers interest me..

Get this - the name of the fellow who deals for Daihatsu in Jamaica is John Crook... no joke. The price for the left outer tie rod end is approx US$225 tax included . Yes that's ONE tie rod end, not a pair.

I had a machine shop rebuild it, I will in the meantime try to get an Aussie friend of mine to pick a pair up for me, and I also heard of a fellow who gets parts from Belgium but I am yet to speak to him. We'll see what happens.

If you're prepared to pay the freight costs I'm sure someone here in Australia could help you out. It's sure to work out a lot cheaper!!!

Greetings,

I also live in Latin America, and have a though time with parts for my 94 Feroza SX. I had the same problem with the tie rod ends, and the local dealership wanted something around 1500 US dollars for the set. With that in mind, I had mine rebuilt for a bit less than 200 US. It was a really professional job, adding safety locks to each tie rod. The steering play was completely eliminated.

Just be careful, if you have yours remanufatured, to find a shop that would dismantle and rebuilt the hole thing, intead of giving the rods a "press" to reduce the play. That´s the difference of having a safe or a suicidal ride. Loosing the steering should be rather unpleasent.
