Why didn't my kit come with rear tie-rod ends?

group35sucks · 05-22-2008, 11:45 PM

so i got this kit:Twos R Us - Parts for Toyotas from Club MR2
and a set of bushings and engine mounts.

anyways, i just pulled all the wheels off and being a suspension newb i thought i would look around and get a acquainted with all of the parts. Why does the kit only come with the front tie rod ends and not the rear?(if the rear one is even called a tie rod end) Do the rear ones just not wear out much because they dont rotate any considerable amount?

They do sell the rear tie rods but not the tie rod ends, are the front ones the same as the back?

It says in the listing the kit is supposed to use the front tie rod ends for the rear, if it works it works.

So all in all your okay.

I didn't order a rear tie-rod or extra set of tie rod ends, should I or is it unnecesary?

No your supposed to use the front tie rod ends on those rear tie rods, I assume the Tie rods DID come with the Front tie rod ends correct? If so just bolt it all up in the rear and call it a day... after an alignment of course.
