Tie rod ends on a 97 coily...

Post by Arcadion »

Hello all, I have been hunting for Tie rod ends for my coily's tie bar, but also for the drag link rod as they are also replaceable. All the local spares shops say they don't have a listing for the SJ80, so i'm asking here.
I know they are replaceable on the drag link, and I even went so far as to go see the genuine zook guys who kindly brought up the parts diagrams for me. So does anyone have a listing for them, or anyone know a brand and part number that i can cross reference off? I work in spares at autobarn, so i can order through them.
Also while i'm at it, I probably need to replace my shocks as well, but I was going to raise my car in a within the year. If i go for a longer travel shock to suit the raise on the car, can i use it now before it's raised? Otherwise i'm going to be forking out dollars twice...

Thanks for the help!

I have the a listing on the tie rod ends but not the nothing on the drag rod. The R/H tie rod end is TE692R and L/H is TE692L. There is every chance that the drag rod ends are the same as the tie rod ends.

As for shocks you are always best off getting the correct length, there are no guarrantees that longer shocks won't bottom out, but ultimately it depends on the length. It was only last week that I found an off the shelf, longer than standard shock for the front of an SJ80. I'm still awaiting to get the specs from the supplier to know how much longer it actually is. All the shocks on the market up until now have only been standard length, otherwise custom built shocks from Rancho's or similar have been used.
