| Post subject: | Longer Tie rods? |
Hey guys........ What have people done about getting longer tie rods? Surely this is a problem when people use longer lower control arms? Is there a suitable donor vehicle to get the longer tie rods from? Cheers guys. P.S. How much of the tie rod should be in the tie rod end. |

I'm not sure about the Sunny, but on a 180B, the two common strategies are: - Use inner tie-rod ends on the outers... They're longer than the outers, and there doesn't appear to be any real problem with doing this. - Stew Wilkins makes/has hexagonal heavy duty ones, that are longer as well. Hope this helps? |

Sorry, I took a bump on the head on Saturday, and am obviously still having problems! Stew does hexagonal tie-rods, not tie-rod ends. I think they are about 25mm longer than standard. Of course, I've only ever seen then installed on a rally car, not seperate, so its hard to compare them to standard ones... |

From memory they are 185-190mm long. |

Is that the length of the standard ones or the Wilkins specials? |
