Concept Z Performance And Rear Outer Tie Rod Ends

[Philr32]

Hi,

A few things.

How have people found their experience with CZP? Feel free to private message if you don't wang to post publicly. Did everything get delivered and in good condition and what is the quality and figment of their parts like?

Secondly, their outer rear tie rod ends that delete the ball joint in favour of poly bushes, anyone used it before? If so how was it?

Lastly just to confirm, this will work on a 32 GTST with HICASlock bar correct?

I have bought a few consignments of things from Coz at Concept Z. It's a while ago now, but the transaction was every easy, and goods came packaged well.

I'm sure you'll be able to find lots of information if you look at the US Z and G forums.

Plenty of feedback on aus300zx.com too, generally though people are very happy. I grabbed a 120k mile service kit a few years back that was on my door in about 4 business days, definitely no complaints here. Also worth looking at Z1 motorsports & Courtesy Nissan.

That looks a bit odd, it's basically replacing a ball joint with just a pivot? Is that going to work properly when the suspension compresses and expands, with all the associated toe changes etc.? Am I missing something?

I installed one of these HICAS Eliminator kits instead of just a lock bar: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Total-HICAS-Eliminator-Kit-for-Nissan-Silvia-S13-S14-S15-Skyline-R32-R33-R34-/161489904354?

It also replaces the outer end with a bush but there is a rose joint at the inner end, effectively replacing the ball joint but at the opposite end. From what I understand this is a similar setup to OEM non-HICAS rear end.

I should have mentioned that I'm running a GKTECH lock bar and inner tie rods, so they have rose joint spherical bearing things same as the kit u pictured, which will compensate for loss of ball joint during suspension travel, I think?

Thanks to all for the replies so far, keep it coming

Thanks for the clarification, that should work then.
