R34 Rear End Queries

[Mangune]

Hey all, got a few knocks and what not in the rear end of my R34 Gtt sedan. I knew that one of the coilovers was on its way out.

So the report back was that I have outer tie rod end play. Whats the best option for resolving this, they quoted me 340 to fix that. What parts are needed in that, worth going aftermarket or what?

Also they came back saying there is a rattle and play in the rear rack end. With this, can this be solved with a lock bar or do I have to replace the item. Got quoted 840.

Also is there any decent places in Eastern Melbourne (ftg) that don't charge through the teeth to work on this. As they also quote 360 just to put coilovers that I supply in.

Any help is much appreciated and thanks.

Anyone???

well with a lockbar you still have the outer tie rod which would have that play in it,unless the hicas unit is the actual problem

By the way, this topic is immensely searchable.

It would be if I knew something about the rear end and know what I could solve the issue with.

Maybe instead of just posting usless stuff like that, have a useful input.

On your theroy 90% threads should be searchable but still get started.

Dan thanks for the response mate

You're kidding right? Search terms like "HICAS", "rear rack ends", "noise", "knock", and so on did not occur to you?

Retardation seems to be spreading.

above is right, you could have searched those keywords (isn't that how you normally search??)

but to give you a start, nissan can order in new HICAS tie rods (rack ends is a different name for the same thing, i believe). and the HICAS tie rods are different to the front tie rods (obviously) so don't go buying cheapo ones off ebay.
