High Lift tie rod end/adjuster replacements?

Recommended Posts

One of the tie rod ends in my Tundra High Lift snapped in half today. Rather than buying the L parts tree that these come on, are there any other options? I tried using a 5mm open face adjuster but it does not fit. The diameter of the shaft/collar that it slides into is exactly 5mm

Tamiya P/N 50596 might be what you need - easy to find on ebay.

5mm adjusters do not fit. I tried the newer open face version (54869) and it is too small. The ball connectors that these 5mm adjusters pop into is only 4.7mm

OK, maybe the 6mm adjusters - Tamiya P/N 50953 are the ones you need ?

Thanks, looks like this will work. Might be a tad too big I can probably do something to tighten it up

Went to the LHS today and was lucky to get their last pack of 6mm adjusters. It is indeed a little bigger so there is a little play but at least it fits.
