Hi Fred. Is it OK to bring a ‘passenger’ on this? My wife, just as unfit as me, but capable of an easy pace and I have just had her serviced😬

Greetings to all forum participants!✌️ You may have seen my past posts on tuning the TLC 300 and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Since I often work on cars, this time I got my hands on the Nissan Patrol Y61 suspension. One of the key enhancements was fitting this steering tie rod, and I'd like to highlight a few of its major advantages. Firstly, a significant improvement in control and handling. The adjustable tie rod allows precise tuning of the suspension and steering to match individual driver preferences. It's a fantastic upgrade for enhancing confidence and stability on off-road terrain. Secondly, the quality of components was impressive. The installation was almost seamless due to accurate sizing and a construction that required no additional adjustments. I particularly liked that when the tie rod ends wear out, only the original tie rod ends OEM D8570-VS42A (left) and D8520-VS42A (right) need to be replaced, saving time and resources. And of course, the kit itself. All the attachments for the steering damper and components are galvanized and have an additional polymer coating, enhancing durability and protection against corrosion. These are just my personal impressions, and I understand everyone might have their own take. However, if you have any questions or are interested in similar enhancements for your vehicle, I'm always ready to share my experience and help find suitable options.
