Tie rod assembly

[Valvebounce]

Are the left and right tie rod assemblies the same?

Rock auto show lots of right ones, but no left? (Only one listing, but none in stock) mine are fine, but the boots are gone. For what boots will cost me locally, I can buy whole new assemblies off there.

What for 110, 510, 310 or 620???

I just looked on RA, was cornfuzed, so looked at my 620 parts truck!  The 620 has a 1pc "tie rod assembly" WITH the ball joints (tie rod ends) built in on each end, from knuckle to a center link.  Listed as "right" & "left".  Not cheap on RA, but they list them! 

 

The center link has replaceable tie rod ends & they do look like they are opposite threads.....one standard right hand thread, the other left hand thread.  I see them listed separately, out of stock as you said, but I also see this "center link" listed as an assembly, sold as a unit WITH tie rod ends, so that's easy too!  Looks like everything is available.

 

If you only want the rubber boots, you might try Nissan to see if they are available OEM.....??  I buy ALL of my OEM parts from Riley at Lynchburg Nissan in VA, email parts@lynchburgnissan.com, then Courtesy Nissan in TX or Chico Nissan in CA.  I've read that there is a dealership or two in the upper NW that will also help with classic Datsun parts............most dealerships won't, cuz too old, they don't know what a Datsun is!!!! 🤣

 

Hope that helps!

This is the 620 forum, so it should go without saying.

I can get parts locally no problem. But rock auto is cheaper 99% of the time.

It should, but anyone with a 620 using Ratsun or google search engine will go to any title saying '620 tie rod assembly' first and miss any information in this post.

try partsgeek also

The year of your vehicles in your profile is also helpful.

 

'73-'77 RH 48510-B5000..... LH 48630-B5000

 

'78-'79 RH 48510-B9525..... LH 48630-B9525

 

Looks like they are not the same or the L&R would have the same part number. There may be some subtle bend in them some mirror image thing easily over looked.

 

 

The rubber dust covers are 48522-B5000.... christ! $10 each????

[Valvebounce]

Wow.

The cheapest complete assembly on rock auto is only $16. 

 

I went and saw a mate who works at an auto parts store. He said that they no longer stock them. We live in a disposable society now I guess.

[datzenmike]

$16 is cheap, probably quality too. Best parts are made in Japan.

My ACDelco ones were made in Korea and they work fine
