Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I have recently bought an old Nissan Patrol and is trying to get it through COR. The ball joints on my drag link and tie rod is "gaar". I have tried to get parts from my local Nissan dealer - no joy. I need Tie rod ends and it seems the complete drag link for a 1996 Patrol SGL 4.2 D. Where do I go to if my local Nissan dealer can't help, will Nissan SA help - who do I contact? Are there alternative suppliers? Any help will be appreciated.

Have a look at this link. It might help if you cannot source the parts in SA.

Thanks Jorrie will keep that option in mind.

I also have a Land Cruiser Troopy. It is an old model and before Toyota SA brought the Troopy to SA I use to get parts from N1 4x4. Is there a similar place specializing in Nissan Patrol parts?

I found ball joints somewhere, and made a new adjustable drag link. I am pretty sure I posted the details somewhere on here, but can't find it.

One of the Cabstar lorries have the same taper pin size on the ball joints.

Dankie Peter

Lyk my ek sal vinnig moet leer planne maak. TIA.

Het jou "post" gekry. Mag ek maar jou tekening gebruik indien ek die roete moet gaan?

Not that I am aware of. Maybe somebody else on this forum could provide a better cue. However, scrap yards could be a usefull source, if you can find a Patrol or another vehicle that uses similar parts. The problem would be to identify which other vehicles share parts with Patrols. In this manner I have found good bits and pieces from other vehicles that are the same on Patrols. Admittedly the items were not major items. Good luck in your search. And, if you do find what you are looking for, please post the relevant details on this forum so that others can benefit from your experience.
Best Regards.

Natuurlik

Het vandag twee "tie rod ends" van Laubschers Nissan in Vredenburg bestel. Adrean Louw wat parte bestuurder daar is en ook 'n lid van die forum is, het regtig uit sy pad gegaan om my te help. As die mense hier in KZN nie wil / kan help nie, is daar mense in die Kaap wat sal help! Ek gaan die twee "ball joints" aan 'n staaf heg en dan 'n "drag link" maak - soos Peter Connan voorgestel het. Ek kon "ball joints" van Partquip kry teen die helfte van die prys, maar het besluit om eerder Nissan parte te gebruik. Sal fotos neem. Hoop om volgende week klaar te wees.

As jy 'n bracket soek om tie steering damper se punt op vas te bout, ek moes twee maak en het nog een oor?

Stuur my 'n PM as jy hom soek?
