That's awesome as they're the bits I ordered this afternoon hoping they'd be right.
Got told $45+ each and yeah that includes all 4 rod ends.
Strange that each of these part numbers include the parts I was quoted the best part of $1000 for :roll:

Hi sorry for the stupidity but which is the one that goes from the steering box down to the tie rod?? I thought it was called the drag link??

Is drag link and relay rod the same??

cool have bent the one on our truck and due to the odd ball size thread haven't been able to find someone to make one up.

Does anyone know the length of both the tie rod and the relay rod as ours is a bit of a mix and match so may find one is better than the other. Suspect will need to modify it anyway.

Also is the thread in the tie rod the same as the relay (from memory 17mm)??

I'm not at home so can't be sure but for the part numbers above IIRC...
tie rod = 1065mm
relay rod = 775mm
Can't remember about the thread size...maybe M23 for the tie rod and the M21 for relay...either way they weren't the same (tie rod is bigger) and were defiantly bigger than M17
