Wanted 80 series Cruiser Draglink

[doddzee]

As per title, some asshole hit my car during the night and bent my drag link so need a replacement. Perfer Auckland so I can get it back on the road quickly but all options considered.

I did that to mine, but off road somehow

Went to toyota for a price thinking it would be cheap coz the 40 series tieroads were $45 a pair with the arm thrown in

but alas I was not suprised to hear that the drag link was in fact gonna be a shade over $1000 retail

I left all dejected and 10 mins later the parts man rang me and told be he could get it for $200 + gst

so its worth a shot at toyota but screw them for a good price otherwise bend it back and weld a sleeve over it

Thanks Skid, will investigate toyota. If not option b there sounds like a plan.

cant see the pic but do you mean the long one behind the diff or the one from steering box to left hub on the front?... so many people call them tie rod or drag link for front of back or vise versa...

if the long rear shoot me a text bro

I'm buying tie-rods for around $60 now from toyota so a drag link shouldn't be that dear

If you draw a blank (or have to go to the bank ) give me a PM with the length and I'll shorten and re-thread a tie rod for (should be less than $200 including frieght )

Cheers Reece

Now to try get money out of the shit head down the road that hit it.
