tie rod

Hi Folks, Looking for the main steering tie rod that connect the two knuckles on a ‘72 FJ40. Live in Andover, MA. Let me know if you have one.

Ordered the wrong one 😑 . Just trying to recoup some of the expense. This is for a RHD 80 series Land Cruiser tie rod end. Toyota OEM # 45044-69115. 40.00 bucks shipped to lower 48. -Jack

Hey all, I’m replacing my tie rod ends and am unsure how to get this bolt out that attaches my Dobinson’s damper to the tie rod. I’ve tried beating it out with a mallet. Also tried using the ball joint removal tool I used for the tie rod ends but can’t get it between the large washer and the...

Has anyone converted their outer tie rod ball joints to heim joints on their 100 series or have any experience with this? Im prepping my 2005 100 series to run a portal kit that has custom built knuckles. Shops that have installed these kits on other vehicles have recomended the heim joint...

Any input or opinions on the best tie rod end kit. Any difference between say a OEM kit from Cruiser teq vs the heavy duty kit from Manafre? Appreciate the advice. Thanks

Just replaced the tie rods ends. First, the part numbers below match with the dorman parts I found on rock auto. Total at the time of purchase was $64. I did a terrible job measuring the tie rod lengths before removal. Also, had to clean up the threads on the rods quite a bit before...

I'd like to get these in fairly quickly. My normal sources are out of stock or double the price - City Racer - out of town until 1/19 - $85 - Cruiser Corp - $77 but out of stock - Cool Cruisers - in stock but $145 - Cruiser Teq - odd but doesnt have any FJ40 tie rod kits - Amazon - $140 -...

Wanted fj40 steering drag link and tie rod. I recently purchased a 73 fj40 (basket case) that is missing the steering linkage from the manual box to the axles. Any condition will do, rusted, bent or bad tie rod ends are ok. I just want to be able to steer this pile around while I’m pushing it...

So, today was "replace the tie rod ends day. Before I started unpacking the replacement ends I sized them up comparing them to the existing ones. I have a May '75 FJ40 left hand drive. The front disk brakes (I guess) were added by the PO. (or the PPO). So, I am not an expert in what each arm...

Ever see this before? I’ve heard of bending the tie rod but not it breaking like this. Looks like it napped right where the link ends. Thank goodness this happened when pulling into my garage but so bizarre. Who makes the best replacement rod kit? Might as well upgrade but I don’t need...

Good Morning All! 275K 2000 land cruiser. Just purchased recently, 2 inch lift. I have been adjusting the torsion bars in front to get the ride height correct, 21.5 inches hub to fender on passenger and 21.75 on drivers side (finally got it!). Also was able to successfully adjust the panhard...

As the title suggests, my tie rods are currently stuck and unable to be aligned, I’m bringing it to another shop who may be able to free them but I want to be ready in case they need to be replaced. I’m familiar with the Japanese 555 brand ti-rod ends of which I’ll probably purchase also, but is...

Hi all 2008 HZJ71 1HZ LHD , someone know the tie rod lenght ? should be approximately 1184,00 or 1203,00 mm ? thank you Giacomo

I've gotten most of the engine components removed and am about to start on the wheels when I noticed my right front tie rods may be a bit bent. Should I invest in replacements or can I clean these up and perhaps straighten them out? Or are my eyes just playing tricks on me? I am open to any...

Just as the title says, when I turn the wheel all the way to right lock, the inside edge of the driver side rim rubs badly on the outer tie rod. Pic attached. Worth noting that the bearings inside the driver side CV Axle are shot and make a constant, very audible popping, knocking sound (yes...

Seeking advice on some maintenance that was neglected on my new-to-me 2002 LX470 with 179500 miles on her. I just took my lx to my local tire + axle guy who pointed out to me that I had some significant issues with my front end. First off, all ball joints were totally shot. That's a...

I'm replacing all ball joints and tie rods but now I'm really considering replacing the entire rack. Passenger side seems solid What do you guys think?

Hello everyone. Im am very inept mechanically and wondering if someone can help diagnose with the help of these pictures. There is a grinding feeling when the wheel is cranked turning at low speeds, power steering fluid level is at MIN but not going any lower after continuous driving. Rack? Tie...

So I'm currently replacing my relay rod ends, and I'm running into a problem where the tapered bolt that the steering damper sits on is stuck in the bracket that's part of the driver's side (RHD) relay rod end. I have an OME steering damper, so the bolt is different than the stock one. Has...

Well, at just over 180k my steering rack is starting to leak pretty heavily. I'm going to do the lift-engine method and replace it. Anything else I should consider checking/replacing "while I'm in there"? Plan: New OEM steering rack OEM steering rack bushing 555 Outer tie rods
