The Startup Track Rod (part number TR4530) is a heavy duty track rod engineered for Landcruiser 78/79 Series 6Cyl. Manufactured by Roadsafe, one of Australia's longest-standing 4WD steering and suspension specialists, it is a direct-fit part for the listed vehicles.
A key feature of the Roadsafe product range is development and range rationalisation. Roadsafe investigates ways of rationalising so only one component will cover both applications. Such is the case with the Drag Links for the Nissan Patrol. The Roadsafe Nissan Patrol Drag Links – DL700S and DL710S – have been designed based on a combination of the two different styles present for each application.
The DL700S replaces the two genuine drag links listed for the GQ Patrol, and the DL710S replaces the two genuine links listed for the GU Patrol. Since the only difference between the genuine models is the steering damper brackets – the team at Roadsafe designed the new components with two brackets on each item to allow for fitment for either application in the range. While at the drawing board, the links were also designed to be heavy-duty, with additional heavy-duty replaceable ends and adjustable to suit lifted vehicles. A worn ‘long rod’ can cause a variety of steering related issues, including wandering, erratic steering and excessive tyre wear.
It is imperative that anything with a grease nipple is greased at regular service intervals.
Upgraded from standard featuring 34mm OD tube, with 6.5mm wall thickness. Rods include the Tie Rod Ends. Startup Version. Tie Rod Ends 995/997HD, Length 1195mm e/e
The track rod ties the two front wheels together so they steer as one. It is the lowest-hanging steering component on most solid axle 4WDs — and the first thing to bend when a rock or rut strikes. A bent track rod changes toe instantly, scrubbing tyres and making the vehicle dart and wander.
Roadsafe heavy duty track rods use thicker high-tensile tube that resists bending, with greasable heavy duty ends built for dust and water. 'Startup' series rods are the value heavy duty option; 'Comp' rods are the maximum-strength version for hard off-road use.
