nismopick Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Why not shop around & find out? Check AutoZone / Checker / Kragen / NAPA / Pepboys / PartsPlus / Ebay / any other local parts shop. Compare prices and then you will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Don't buy cheap tie rods and ball joints. Call courtesy nissan and get those. If you pt the cheap stuff on the car you will be replacing it in a couple of years, if not sooner. jmho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom'sZ Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm with Mark on this one, cheap should not be criterion for suspension parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Auto Zone can get you good quality ball joints and tie rod ends, I'll get you part numbers. For a poly bushing kit Summit has the best price that I have found. G machine TC rod kit Black Dragon. Beware of the stuff on e-bay most of it is over priced on shipping. If you want genuine Datsun Parts I'd go with this dealer over in TN, real easy to deal with, I'll update the info tomorrow as it's on my work computer and I'm at home. Are you replacing the springs and struts too? Best price on a Tokico kit is the guy on E-bay, again I'll post the contact info tomorrow, guess I kinda suck when I'm at home ha-ha.

mario_82_ZXT Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I think I got my ball joints from NAPA. They were so crappy I had to clean out the threads with a tap because one of them stripped one of the supplied bolts... If you have the money get them through Courtesy.

100 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Awesome thanks guys. Great info dsommer! I already have Tokico's. I just need to put together the coilover kit. Have all the part numbers from a thread that was posted on here a while back. Going to get technotoytuning hats and camber plates also.

dsommer Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm sorry but I have to say screw Courtesy, every time I've "tried" to talk to them about simple 240Z parts the person on the other end comes across with a IDGAF attitude, hence I'll do business elsewhere and here is where I'll be going for Nissan parts. LynchburgNissanParts [parts@lynchburgnissan.com] E-mail Riley, he lurks here at Hybridz. In just an inquiry on some parts he was VERY helpful!!! On the tie rod ends you may or may not need the inner ends, part that connects to the steering rack. I'd also go ahead and replace the rubber boots. Be sure to get a pickel fork to seperate the parts and a spring compressor, both avalible on the loan a tool program from Auto Zone. You can go to Autozone.com to get the part numbers sorry don't have time to get them right now. Dont for get to check your wheel bearings, steering/strut bearings, etc. Lots of little things can trip you up and delay your efforts. I'm doing my my front suspension right now so I speak from experience.Qty. Item Description Part No. Avail.Core ValueUnit PriceSub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFancypants Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'm sorry but I have to say screw Courtesy, every time I've "tried" to talk to them about simple 240Z parts the person on the other end comes across with a IDGAF attitude, hence I'll do business elsewhere and here is where I'll be going for Nissan parts. Was searching and located this thread... just wanted to defend Courtesy. If you call them, make sure you talk to Butch. He is helpful and polite. He will search eFAST for any Z part you want. - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I was looking for inner tie rods, which are a real pain to find by the way!, I found Courtesy's site and they wanted $135.59 for the inner/outer assembly. I called a local Nissan dealer and got the same assembly for $98.50! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
