Cool thanks - I will check it out and come back with updates. I went ahead and ordered the amazon tie rod ends since I'll need those. I'm really leaning towards the PRG Titan Assembled 5100 HD - just to save my self alot of hassle and headache. I'll have plenty of that for the when I decide to do the Cajan Stage 1 package... that one should be a blast!
MORE shock strut and tie rod replacement questions
Hey everyone, I've been reading (about 20 pages so far) on the 5100 install thread. I can't read anymore, confusing myself.. haha and I haven't exactly found my exact answers so I'm going to make a new thread.
2006 LE with off road package 136,000 miles
I want to replace my stockers due to the high mileage and also purchasing a travel trailer soon. Also, last inspection, I needed new tie rod ends... I'm due for inspection next month and still have not replaced them. Not really looking for a lift, leveling out would be great, as long as I don't have to buy new UCA's (I THINK from what I read, I won't need them on the middle setting with the off road package)
I would like to replace:
1. Tie rod ends -- Are these amazon ones ok or should I be looking elsewhere: https://www.amazon.com/Detroit-Axle...92693986&sr=1-8&keywords=nissan+titan+tie+rod
2. Springs. I'm assuming mine are shot. Do you replace with the MOOG 81194 or do i have to have the 08+?? Or do I need different springs with off rd pkg?
https://www.amazon.com/Moog-81194-Coil-Spring-Set/dp/B005JCPR02
3. The OEM black bushings. where do you get new ones? Any other 'new' pieces I should be concerned with ordering?
4. I was planning on getting the kit from PRG. PRG Products however, I could save a ton of headache and go with PRG Products
That would allow me to skip #2 and #3. Buuut then I need to find out where to get just the rear shocks... Thoughts on this?
Do I need re-alignment after replacing tie rod ends?
Do I need re-alignment after replacing shocks/struts? (I was thinking maybe doing the tie rod ends right away and replace shocks later... but If I have to have an alignment done after each installation, then I need to purchase and install everything now)
Thanks in advance!!!
