    Default Longer Lower control arm - what tie rods?

    Ok, I have fitted longer (GE sigma) lower control arms to my TA22 celica and was wondering what the options were with tie-rods for lengthening them.

    I had a look at various threads and couldn't find any options! (correct me if i'm wrong)

    The LCA's are 40mm longer per side, and the tie rod adjustment is not enough.

    The option of making new tie-rod tubes is the only one i have unless someone knows of a longer tie rod arm that would suit.

    anyone know of longer ones?

    RA40 tie rod ends are your friend

    ok - checked them out at supercheap, it appears the RA40 are identical to the TA22 in the parts manuals.

    the only ones long enough are nissan navara ones! and i havent checked whether the thread is the same yet.
