zombie-nsk Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hello guys! I'm new to the forum. I have an urgent question. yesterday we were working with my steering rack. Everything was not the way I expected(( I've got such tie rod ends on my car (79 fairlady z, jdm) but ones I odered look different. Does anyone have the same inner tie rod ends as I do? At first I decided to keep the old ones, but one of them has different screw thread. What do I miss? What is the best way to fix it? I appreciate you help very much, I don't have anyone in my country who can help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I don't understand your question, maybe due to language barrier. Which tierod end came off the car (show picture of only one tierod end)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamo3 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Left side and right side are different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinez Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Different in thread direction only? My 75 S30 is having centering issues. I can't adjust for full lock right. Stops too early. Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74_5.0L_Z Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Please state your problem clearly and provide a little context. Otherwise no one will be able to help. Did it start acting up spontaneously? Did it start happening after a suspension modification or repair? Can you provide pictures to aid in the explanation?

wrcbonk Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Read the Amazon reviews for more information on how to install the Rare Parts inner tie rods. https://www.amazon.com/Rare-Parts-RP26575-Tie-Rod/dp/B000CK8XTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 The current aftermarket inner tie rods (only ones available) do look different than the OE tie rods and that unlike the originals that are left & right hand thread, they only come in right hand thread. This means you need to also change the outer tie rod to the right side one so everything matches up. Pretty much the way it has been for a decade. As for the one pictured above (on the right), it doesn't look to be the correct one. It looks like the inner tie rod for the later 300ZX and 200SX as seen here: www.ebay.com/itm/Beck-Arnley-101-3626-Tie-Rod-End-Fits-Nissan-Datsun-300ZX-280ZX-200SX-810-/360554189785 Case in point is that the ones made by "Rare Parts" are the only ones you can still purchase and you can see the actual picture of their part on the Jegs site: http://www.jegs.com/i/Rare+Parts/202/RP26575/10002/-1 If you look at the picture for the same part on Amazon, it has a picture of an OE inner tie rod, which is incorrect for the Rare Parts actual part. https://www.amazon.com/Rare-Parts-RP26575-Tie-Rod/dp/compatibility-chart/B000CK8XTS On a side note, I must have found the last pair of Moog inner tie rods on the planet on eBay about a month back. I knew the part number and someone had a pair in the old Moog boxes from back in the day. They are still both RH, so I had the change the outer T3 tie rod, but once I opened the box, they were wrapped up in the original Nissan bag with OE part number. SCORE!!

illusioneclipse Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Anyone happen to know what size thread is the inner tie rod? I need to buy a replacement nut. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUME Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I have a strong feeling about M14x1.5 Not 100% but i can check tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z240 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 M14x1.5 is correct for both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhm Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Assuming you're asking the question regarding an S30? If so, what year? IIRC, the early years used left- and right-hand threads; and later switched to right-hand thread on both sides. I've had steering racks with both; and racks can be switched between year vehicles; so make sure you know what you have before ordering replacement parts.

I know my car has left hand and right hand threads. Just didnt know the thread size. Thanks all for confirming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
