80 Series Tie Rod length

Andrew1706 · Post by **Andrew1706** » Thu Feb 12, 2009 4:12 pm

Hey guys,

I've got an 80 Series with a bent tie rod and I'm looking for some factory measurements to make sure I get the right replacement.

At the moment it's measuring 48" eye to eye roughly, could someone check against their trucks?

Cheers

PM Jafa, he can make a nice strong one cheap

That's the plan, also get a hi-steer kit for my project truck as well.

But I don't want to send him a bent measurement... :lol:

Go to your local toyota, brand rods and ends $53.10

Hmmmmm, is that right...

Just had a friend get a replacement second hand and it cost him over $300!

For that price I'll get a custom one made but if it isn't that bad for OEM then might as well.

Well, certain parts are and certain parts aren't

Cheers anyway, I'm out of civilisation for a while so having a part number would be great.

hi there i dont want to add any congfusion here ...but... my brother in law has a bit of 80 gear store at my place and he has a rod... it measures 1235 center to center of ball but... i dont know weather it is the steering link arm or the tie rod arm... so...measure your own steering link and ifs that similar to 1235 then please forget i ever mentioned it.... otherwise if your steering link is a lot differant to 1235 then it could well be the measurement you are after

...i hope thats not to confusing as i think i got lost myself half way thru :lol:

cheers mudlva

About 1225mm (84.25")

Thats measured in the dark under the truck in the rain with one person and a tape measure, so +/- 5mm :wink:

Holy shit, I'm too sober for all of this poor reading.

Time for a beer

Well I went into Toyota today to ask about the rods, complete rear was $40 and complete front was $970.

Rear rod with rod ends was $40 but just the rod itself was $330

Toyota pricing error means I get a complete rear rod for $40 instead of the $700 odd retail and complete front rod for $260 instead of the $970 retail plus gst.

Really need to find some contacts with trade discounts :twisted:

(all prices plus GST)

Ring me, i work there :lol:

You were the one that said people who didnt wanna pay for OEM annoyed you and that they were only $53.10 :lol:

$970 for a tie rod and ends? No thanks, it seemed as though the button pusher knew what he was doing too.

The next lot will be custom made anyway.

The rod ends I got from Toyota were only $40????????, Jafa can get them for a good price I think (trail gear ones?)
