Hi all... Is there a vendor for the tie rod ends and front bar ( that the steering damper is attached to), with swivel joints at either end, apart from the Nissan agents...?
I've attached referring photos
I've recently upgraded the front and rear suspension with OME equipment, and am thoroughly happy with that...also fitted new front and rear brake pads, replaced ALL fluids, S/S powerflow exhaust system, and chipped...
Only hiccup at present is a wobble sometimes, with braking.... have got skimming of all 4x brake discs on my bucket-list.... but was wondering if any further suggestions please....?
P.s. - tyres all new (Hankooks 265/70R16), and balanced, suspension bushes all "look" very good (vehicle has 166 000km)

I'd suggest you get hold of Peter Connan here on the forum. He manufactures the complete drag link (that front bar). This includes ball joints. And even better, his model is adjustable. Which means you can get your steering wheel centred when you do wheel alignment...

Re: Tie rod ends & front bar with swivel joints wanted
Nino, as Ian mentioned, I make adjustable drag links.
However, I am currently out of stock and the suppliers who make some of the parts are still closed and will only open next week. I will thus not be able to supply before early Feb.
It is possible that Graham has one or two in stock.
