Hodgimus-maximus Posted January 20, 2018 Share #1826 Posted January 20, 2018 Wow, $$$!That price is for both so it’s about what you would pay at any parts store, if you were only buying inner tie rod ends shipping would make them more expensive but if you are already getting other things from T3 then not a big deal.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb280z Posted January 20, 2018 Share #1827 Posted January 20, 2018 When they were available I never paid that much. Its been a number of years but I know I didn't pay that much for them. Like TTT's site says "For inner tie rods, these are pricey, we know, but there is only one option on the market". That is why they are so expensive.

wheee! Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share #1828 Posted January 20, 2018 I don’t plan on having to replace them again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted January 20, 2018 Share #1829 Posted January 20, 2018 For what it’s worth you can get the exact same part by Rare Parts at carpartsdiscount for about $64 each. I have bought these from them in the past without issue. https://www.carpartsdiscount.com/tie-rod-steering-end.html?3593=37540Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb280z Posted January 21, 2018 Share #1830 Posted January 21, 2018 Great info Mike! Thanks. I was ready to order the TTT ones but I'll check to see if the other guys have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share #1831 Posted February 5, 2018 Been working on getting the stubs ready for new bearings. Ordered the bearings last week. These look pretty nice! New studs to go in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share #1832 Posted February 5, 2018 I think I’ll leave the hubs mounted for the bearing install. I have a bearing and race seating kit with an impact adapter. Should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share #1833 Posted February 6, 2018 Death by a thousand restorations... worked on the battery bracket tonight. It was previously powder coated so it took a long time to strip and prep. It looks great but that was 3 hours of work tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksechler Posted February 6, 2018 Share #1834 Posted February 6, 2018 Yep, sounds familiar. Have you started doing zinc on all the various bits and pieces? That takes a while too. Nothing worse than setting your mind to putting some assembly back together only to find some rusty spring or washer that you missed. How are you planning on doing the zinc part? Do you have a small media blasting cabinet? I would blast the small parts, zinc them and them throw them in my tumbler with corn cob media for an hour or two. They'd come out nice and shiny.

wheee! Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share #1835 Posted February 6, 2018 After a lot of soul searching and hand wringing I came to a conclusion.... I won’t be plating any hardware. My car has so many mods on it already that came with stainless fittings, I will probably end up with most of my hardware in stainless. Almost everything else is getting powder coated. The stand up blast cabinet I have is doing a great job so far. Powder coating is beautiful and durable too. It also does a great job on springs. Remains flexible.
