tie rod relay rod length RHD 70s?

[RhinoRig]

Does anyone know the length of the tie rod and relay rod in RHD 70s?

The FSM says 49.88" for the tie rod and 39.41" for the relay, but I just did my TREs yesterday on the RHD HJ75 and both the tie and relay rod were more than 1" shorter than that spec when I pulled them off. It was aligned 6 months ago and drove just fine, so I don't think the length could be off that much. I think the FSM is only referring to LHD vehicles, so the numbers are different. Knowledge? Thanks!

RHD leaf sprung 1990+ parts, cant remember the part numbers but is always comes up 1990+ on the invoice
1068mm and 772mm


that's the bare rod lengths without the TRE's

I just put a tape over my RHD roughly 47 1/2 inches and 38 1/2 inches

Had it aligned today and the left lean/pull on the steering wheel is gone and the new TREs have definitely tightened things up. Before replacing them, I measured about 48.25" and 38.25", so ozcrusier your numbers jive. Being the nerd I am, I was hoping for a missing manual spec. Regardless, all is good.

I had a look through my manuals nothing on length that's why a put the tape over them.
