Hey folks,

Just had a check up done on the ute and found out i need a new drag link, No one deals these things and the only people who can supply is Nissan themselves at a cost of $514.30

Anyone have a draglink laying aound in good condition or know of where i can possibly get one without paying and arm, leg, kidney and testicle for it!

Cheers,
Geoff.

how do i check if they are ok, the one the only spins around doesnt have any sideways or up and down movement, and the other one that can move all over the place hasnt got any up and down movement
so it seems to be good, just needs a new boot and some paint

There should be an engineering out fit near you which recondition them. Ask at a suspention shop, they should be able to steer you in the right direction.

The drag link (Cross Rod) used to be less than $200 from Nissan.

Open in new window

Steering Linkage, B110

You can have the joints "Plasti-surged" I had it done to my drag link, Good as new! Was only about $90 to do both ends!!!
ball joints wanted

How to check for play (wear) in the linkage: Steering gearbox adjustment. If the drag link is off:
- both ends should move freely in all directions (except up and down)
- the joints should have some friction, they should not 'flop around' which indicates wear

I have managed to get hold of an aftermarket [drag link]. The part number is STR412 ... made by 555.

My one (A '85 Datsun Ute) has a straight drag link with the necessary eyes on either side to mount the tierods and idler/pitman arm etc.
This new part I have has a slight bend at either end. It is the same length but a different shape. (Sway bar type shape)
That is apparently the difference: B210 drag links have a slight u-shape, but otherwise fit a B110. Reportedly ...

I got a new one for a 310 (rwd) a couple years ago, somewhat expensive, maybe $150 USD.

Seems like an easy part to restore if they are hard to find.
