We have a 180sx Half Cut in the garage and i was wondering if i would remove the Tie Rods ( Both Inner and Outer ) and Use them on my S14?

Thanks Guys

S14 are 14mm whereas S13 are 12mm

Tein S13 tie rods are jsut S14 spec with spacers… in other words, use S14 ones.

Is there any difference between the Outer Tie Rods between the S13 and S14??

All i really need to replace is the Outer Bushing, My Passenger side is F’d!

the female threading on the outter rod is 12mm for S13 and 14mm for S14.

meaning that you can only use matching pairs.

unless of course the half cut already had upgraded tie rods, in which case they would be S14 spec already.
