Genuine Nissan Tie Rod Assembly - Nissan Patrol Y61 GU 1997-2017

This is a Genuine Nissan Tie Rod Assembly for the GU Patrol, a critical steering component located behind the front differential. It connects the two front wheel hubs, transferring your steering inputs directly between the wheels. This assembly is standard fitment for models from January 2007 onwards, but it also can be used as a direct replacement and a common upgrade for all earlier GU Patrol models.

The ball joints at each end of the tie rod can wear out from constant use and exposure to harsh conditions, or the rod itself can be bent from heavy off-road impacts. Common symptoms of a failing tie rod include vague or sloppy steering, a clunking noise from the front end, and rapid, uneven tyre wear. Replacing a worn or damaged assembly is essential to restore precise steering control and maintain vehicle safety. It is a moderate workshop job, and a professional wheel alignment is required after installation to ensure correct vehicle handling and prevent premature tyre wear. This is also a good opportunity to inspect other steering components such as the drag link, steering damper, and wheel bearings.
