Any idea where I can get these for my GQ? Haven't checked with Nissan but have been told by Pedders that Nissan don't supply them and Pedders tried after market ones that all fail prematurely so they don't use them anymore.

Are Pedders having me on?!?

I need some of these as well. May be worth getting onto Garry at Nizbits, he is really helpful.

He talking about the boots that hold the grease in and keep the crap out that are part of the rod ends or some extra boots that go over them?

Its the boots that go over the tie rod ends that are cactus. My mechanical descriptive ability is about as good as my knowledge of electricity.

If its the tie rod ends on the tie rod bar (behind the front diff) you can replace them. If its the tie rod ends on the drag link (relay rod) in front of the diff with the steering damper on it, and it's genuine Nissan original, you have to replace the whole drag link. The aftermarket drag links have replacable ends. Offroad runner in the vendor section has a special on the drag links at the moment.

Actually i replaced the bushes on my arm in front of the diff. The bushes were about $20ea from nissan, and they have a metal washer sorta thing inside the rubber mould which squeezes on. Havent changed the bushes on the one behind the front diff tho.

I just grease them more often when the boot tears.

Thanks for the replies guys! I'll see if I can get them off Nissan.

Cheers
