Hi guys
I need to change my steering arm ends, I saw the tein and the japspeed..
The car is 50road/50 track use.
Which take?
Thanks

japspeed is bad.
tein is good.
I would just buy some from any local car parts shop, unless the tein ones were cheaper.
If you want anti bump steer ends (like the japspeed items) hardrace do some forged ones like the teins.

One good thing about the japspeed ones is if or when you need to remove them it's easy to drop the steering arm off as you can just remove the bottom nut instead of having to beat the tapered part out
I don't know about s14s but for S13s, the tein track rod ends need to be fitted to tein track rods as they have a different thread.
Oh, and I wouldn't buy anything Japspeed for my car as I only fit quality items to it.
I've had the same Tein rods and ends on my 13 for 10 years and they haven't gone rusty yet.

Tein, the japspeed joint will last around 5 minutes.
Having done a little research, it looks like the rods and ends are the same for both S13 and S14/a so if you go for Teins you will need to get both the rods and the ends.
Rods are around £84 and ends another £84 so 168 quid so about 230 Euro.
That's a lot of money when you can get pattern tie rod ends for £7 a piece from Europarts.
If you want to fix the car up to drive, I'd go with good quality pattern parts. If you are looking at very long term ownership and showing the car or you are expecting to put unusual strain on the steering, maybe look at the teins.
EDIT: Later posts suggest Teins won't fit s13 and s15 track rods but will fit S14/a track rods. Thanks Immy

Is this?Originally Posted by Chriscooke
Is better than the tein?
S14 and S13 have different inner tie rods ( check the link )

I thought the s14 runs m14 rod ends and track rod do the reins will screw straight onto an s14 just not an s13 as they have m12 rod ends

wow 130£...I think I'll take the tein
I have these and can only say good things! Good investment if your cars low!
Rockauto have a good range of rod ends at great prices.
I bought Moog ends from Rockauto (240sx, NOT US 200sx)

As above S13/S15 are M12 on the rod to rod end, S15 rods are S14 length.
S14/Tein are M14 rod to rod end
Double check for yourself before buying though.
I've just seen that Flik is selling his brand new Moog track rods and ends for £80.

If you're happy with how your car drives now, just go to a local auto factors. Avoid Japspeed.
