Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hi All.

Looking for the above for a GQ.

Spoke to Peter already and going to get the agents rubber bushes. About r400 each. Draglink at agent is about r4000 but no stock apparently. David V has 2 in fair condition, for r800 each

One is adjustable so seems to be the one to go for? Or being aftermarket is quality potentially an issue? I'd like to think that such a part that's made aftermarket would usually be better than factory? Please enlighten me if wrong!

Pics attached.

Got one of those from David, fitted by Graham no problems works 100%

Some cars had adjustable drag links as standard, so that is quite probably a factory item.

The non-adjustable one is stronger, but not in any way that makes a big difference unless you run it up against a rock/tree stump/mother-in-law...

Haha the mother-in-law would break even a titanium draglink I'm afraid.

Aah so that's a -ve. of the adjustable draglink Peter. What are the +ve's? Why were they made adjustable? To make centering the steering easier?

Considering I'm soon to put in the 2" OME lift kit from NMAD, should I go with the adjustable?

And I see the non-adjustable draglink in the pic has a castellated screw on it whereas the adj. one doesn't - take it he needs to swop it over?

Geld dit ook vir gu's? Want dit lyk of my 4.5 een het....

Fanus, I have only ever seen them on GU's, except for DMH.

The only problem with the Nissan adjustable is that one end is fixed, so it's not possible to replace just the loints when they are worn out.
