get wheel bearings from justjap, straight fit

re rack end, daleo pointed me to a pair of 350z/g35 ones from ebay, it fitted fine except i had to cut one end cos it was too long compared to the stock m35 one

Hey guys, adambruv on the forum here linked me to these tie rod ends to suit M35 AWD (on the facebook page after I didnt have much success looking on here at the time - link above was no longer listed)

(originally for nissan 350z 03-09)

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170577303396?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

$55 free postage ! currently waiting for mine to be delivered so I can replace my shagged rack ends.

screenshot incase the link gets made redundant by the time you see this page

Few questions:

1) Do people really replace the ball joint only of the rack ends or do they buy replacements as I have done (found a few posts talking about rack ends then people linking lower ball joints only...)

2) Am I going to have to cut 3mm off as Sydsyd did on his 350z/g35 ones ? (a couple of posts above this)

3) Is there a difference between the 2WD and AWD tie rod ends? - Becuase I had a ebay seller say his 2WD tie rod ends will not suit AWD.

Thanks!

Here are the ones for "2WD only"

Note the seller names in both my screenshots.. Seems like same seller. And the product looks the same...But the seller advised this one for 2WD only as the add states as well.

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
