dave65cobra Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hey guys, I had my mechanic take apart my front suspension today and replace my outter tie rods and bushings with all new polyurethane components. He called me and said my inner tie rods were the originals and needed to be replaced as well because the threads were in bad shape. Anyways,, he tried several sources and had no luck finding them. I tried Motorsports Z which is 10min away from my house and they said they currently don't have a supplier for them. I also tried Ebay, Napa, Autozone, and Kragen and had no luck finding a stock replacement inner tie rod for a 73 240z. Does anyone have a set in good shape they can sell me know of a source where I can find a pair? Thanks for your help,, -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Dont know regarding the inner rods but I believe there are some 4x4 tie rod boots that are a perfect fit. Im not sure if the tie rods will include the boots but you might look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Did you call Courtesy Nissan? That's where I got my replacements. They only sell them with outer tie rods, but they are OEM...it was worth it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I am no mechanic but I thought that one of the s30 can not have the iner tie rods replaced or was I told a lie? I have 3 rack an pinions for the 240. Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Yes, that is a lie. Mario, you let other people work on your car? I'm surprised at you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 No Forrest I do not have that kind of money, it was years ago , that I was working on my rack and I whent to the part store and if I recal right, he said you could only replace I think was the 280. ( I will see you at LeBlac ) Dave 65Cobra I have racks but I do not know if they are in good shape . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglist Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Rockauto.com sells them, Spicer brand part #4011312 for the "Professional Grade" or 4011312B for the "Red Label-Service Grade". I have no idea why but it doesn't list the 280Z in what these fit. I also can't tell if the picture is generic or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0714 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I just bought inner tie rods from rock auto. It seemed too good to be true, and it was they didn't fit. Just got them yesterday and they don't even screw into the original tie rods. The diameter on the outer threaded end is too small. I found this place called zbarn parts online, and the guy said he had numerous used inner tie rods. Nissan doesn't make them anymore, according to my local dealership. I was wondering if anyone has used this source for used parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palosfv3 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 If you need new suspension parts, for any car in the past and I mean most anything ever produced ,go on line or call Rare Parts in California. If they dont have it in stock they have the ability to manufacture new . They may not be the cheapest but they will get you the part. They even had tie rods and suspension for my Facel Vega in stock http://www.rareparts.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
