uh oh..i crashed my zenki again - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

jononioo · 01-09-2005, 07:21 PM

I crashed my zenki the other day and my front left suspension is jacked up. My buddies and i assesed the damage today and found that 3 things need to be reaplaced to make my car drivable again. My problem is that i need these 3 parts by this weekend and i only have $200 bucks to spend on them, so im prolly gonna end up gettting used oem parts. anyway, heres the parts list.

1) front left lower control arm ($40 junkyard)
2)Tension Rod ($150 courtsey nissan)
3)Entier tie rod, innner and outer(?)

The left lower control arm isn't going to be a problem b/c car-parts.com has a ton of em for a resonable price.

The cheapes tension rods i can find are 150bucks... if anyone knows were i can find some oem ones/used ones for cheaper please let me know. I can't find them on car-parts.com. I think they are listed under a name im not familar with

I can't find any used tie rods period. The only ones i can find are the hard tie rods that are about 240 bucks.

If anyone can help... please feel free to input on this thread
thanks

if your having trouble finding cheap used parts online...stop looking online.

Go to a local junkyard and get the parts yourself. You'll save yourself a ton of money b/c there used and you won't have to pay shipping.

I just threw away some good used tension rods

there anrn't any local junkyards where i live and even if there was, i can't drive there to get the parts.

for starters, you can post in WTB section. that way people selling parts will send you them. I'm sure a ton of ppl on this forum have factory t/c rods and tie rods laying around in their garages

there's nothing tech about this post, and you're just hurting yourself by not posting in WTB section.

Damn i had some tension rods a week ago but gave them to a friend. You can get a djustable tension rods off of courtsey nissan for a 150 i believe so your best be would to check pull apart Well i know of a junkyard in bessemer that has a 240 with the front suspension in tact. But i dont know where you live so.
