While these products meet or exceed OEM specifications, regular maintenance is essential to ensure safety and longevity. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to inspect all steering components, including rod ends, internal and external threads, and hollow bars at every service or at least every six months. Any signs of looseness, damage, or rust must be addressed immediately, as rust formation, particularly in harsh environments such as beach driving or off-roading, can compromise performance and may void the product warranty. Any wear or \"play\" in ball joints, tie rod ends, or threads requires immediate replacement to maintain safe vehicle operation. Failure to perform regular inspections and necessary replacements may result in component failure, which could lead to serious injury or damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cscript\u003e\n\/\/ Select the protected section\nconst protectedSection = document.getElementById('protected-section');\n\n\/\/ Block right-click in the protected section\nprotectedSection.addEventListener('contextmenu', function(event) {\nevent.preventDefault();\n});\n\n\/\/ Block copying in the protected section\nprotectedSection.addEventListener('copy', function(event) {\nevent.preventDefault();\nalert('Copying is not allowed in this section.');\n});\n\u003c\/script\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDue to shortages in steel supply at this current time, this product may be supplied in either of the finishes shown in the image below.\u003cbr\u003eWe are not able to guarantee which finish will be supplied but they are both of the same tensile strength and carry the same warranty.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Superior Hollow Bar Tie Rod Suitable For Toyota Hilux\/4Runner\/Surf (Standard or Crossover) Adjustable (Each) - HLXTIERODMEC-V3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.superiorengineering.com.au\/image\/data\/product%20files\/Superior\/control%20arms\/Steel%20Finishes.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperior Engineering offer custom built suspension solutions, with unique adjustability and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese kits are assembled to order to suit your requirements, with an average lead time that can vary between 1-3 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need a specific eta, please contact us before ordering and we will be sure to assist you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eConsolidated Freight Option\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsolidated freight allows PPD Performance to combine multiple orders onto a single pallet and transfer them together, reducing freight costs by sharing them across orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis option adds an additional 1–3 week delay on top of the standard 1–3 week supplier lead time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you require your item sooner, please contact us before or after ordering to discuss specific lead times or faster freight options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Superior Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46653722558638,"sku":"46692","price":362.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2136\/3225\/files\/rock_rod_mec_tie_rod_pin-PLUS_0e1aa687-84c3-4154-afce-307db1d17d7e.jpg?v=1751769141","url":"https:\/\/ppdperformance.com.au\/products\/toyota-hilux-1979-1983-superior-engineering-superior-hollow-bar-tie-rod-suitable-for-toyota-hilux-4runner-surf-standard-or-crossover-adjustable-each-hlxtierodmec-v3","provider":"PPD Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
