Full Description
We have developed an OEM replacement inner tie rod with more adjustment than any other tie rod available. After setting up our own cars we quickly discovered that there are a heap of factors that determine the tie rod length required such as whether you are running rack spacers or not, the knuckles that you're running and then the length of your LCA. These variables create a near endless amount of variables that we narrowed down to up to a +70mm increase in length over a regular S14 tie rod and we also included adjustment for those needing to reduce the length of the tie rod. The final product as shown in the photos compared to some popular alternate tie rods shows just how much adjustment our tie rod has.
- Adjustable from 195mm minimum length through to 340mm (145mm of adjustment)
- M14 in size for increased strength over M12 setups
- Rod is manufactured from HRC 25-28 Steel with PTFE (Teflon) lined maintenance free bearing
- 50 degrees range of motion (25 degrees misalignment)
- Sold individually

Dan, I have been living by you vid’s as I’m putting together my s13! 😂 I have the full gktech front setup, v4 knuckles, 74mm lca, m14 tie rods, etc. my issue is the shank for the outer tie Rod is too long… I’m running 18x9.5 +12 and even with a 20mm spacer the shank will not clear my inner barrel. I’ve been scouring you vids and cannot see that you ever had a problem with this. Do I just have to cut down that shank? I’m pretty sure I’ll have enough to compensate for bumpsteer if I do since I’m using 2 spacers on the bottom. But I didn’t know if that was ok to cut them. You ever have any issue with this? I’m also did rack forward relocation. Btw. Thank you in advance. I’m trying my best to get this thing back on track. Literally! Lol

[@Officer_Dan]

Thanks for the kind words man! We are here to help. Yes you can cut the shank down, just make sure enough threads are there for the lock nut to engage!

[@ryboy98]

@@Officer_Dan awesome!! Thank you for the quick reply! I did the full rear about 4 months ago, your vids were key to my success! And then again working on the front now! Awesome! You saved me tons of time throughout the processes! Keep it up! 💪🏼

[@AbstractxPC]

So I saw you lined up with the bevel on the inner tie rod and then backed off a bit im assuming for adjustability for your alignment what is a good length to back off there for maximum thread engagement but still having room for adjustment?

[@Tracks777]

Great content. Keep it up!

[@kimdotnet8151]

Do I need to cut these to length with the angle kit and lca’s for the Z?

[@Officer_Dan]

I had to trim mine yea

[@Cgtlfa]

Will these inners and outters work for a stock s13 knuckles, running the GKTech RCC and steering rack spacers?

[@Officer_Dan]

You will have to run the 14 outers to run the inner, but yes!

[@leeoliver3978]

So I have the 350z super lock kit going on a v35 should I fit rack spacers and both control arms then adjust to where I want the wheel and work out cuts from there ?

[@Officer_Dan]

Thats the basics yes! Just remember to get max thread engagement, but still leave some room for adjustment at the alignment shop

[@leeoliver3978]

Dan Brockett will do thanks for the advice 👍

[@seanthesheep101]

Does anyone happen to know if this part is good for Toyotas too? Specifically Toyota soarer. It looks pretty similar just not too sure

[@SamuraiRyosuke]

Is there supposed to be grease in these ? I have a set on my 14 and it seems they are greased inside.... I'm thinking it's what's causing my wobble as maybe the grease is worn

[@CarloBtt]

I just bought these for my s14, why is there a washer in the package? Where does it fit?

[@200jdm]

hey man love the vids, when adjusting the bump steer is it best to have the car sitting on the ground or jacked up in the air?

[@Officer_Dan]

Alexander Di Cesare eye ball it with the car off the ground, but you get it all set with the car down or preferably on an alignment rack

[@JackTruitt]

if I have 40mm extended lcas do I still cut for thread engagement or would they be the proper length right out of the box?

[@Officer_Dan]

You may need to trim a little (but not much). Do you have any rack spacers?

[@LuisMendoza-mm3ww]

Can I order these for a skyline r32 gtst??

[@Officer_Dan]

These will work yes!

[@MrFearless9812]

So do you still run the dust boot covers or not?

[@Officer_Dan]

I don't, but if I daily drove it I would!

[@MrFearless9812]

Ahh I see thanks for the reply! I figured since it's (what looks like) a track only car you wouldn't be. I just bought the inner, outter and super lock combo for my 180 and just seeing how it all goes together :P

[@Officer_Dan]

@@MrFearless9812 ya only reason I dont run one. You are gonna love it once it's all setup!

[@7381366]

No spacers? :( for drifters?

[@AbstractxPC]

There are offset rack spacers, apparently you aren't a drifter lol
