New Zealand Datsun Club

Hey guys, I've just stripped my steering assembly and am on the hunt for all new joints and bushes. Has anyone got a diagram of I can use to reference part numbers? Are the joints at either end of the cross rod replaceable? I see one has a scrub screw in it.
Also, where is the best place to buy the rest of the ball joints, bushes, boots etc?

Sorry, on a 1200

Shot man, thanks

Just done this a month ago myself, good times
BNT will sort you out for all the parts except the outer tie rod ends. You can try ADL for the outers.
Also the cross rod bar will need to be taken into ADL for them to suss out a replacement.

Chances are you'll need the smaller ball joints... BJ92 are the go.

Check out the idler arm for pitting and perished bushes, nolathane does an easy replacement.
Lower control arm bushes will need a bearing press or a gas torch to take the old rubber bushes out.

I gave up on my tension rod bushes but will try again in a month or two and prob machine the rod to get some adjustment going.

Ah... Just the info I was after,

I got everything from bnt except for the cross arm joints

Cross rod/ draglink can be bought new off eBay using the b210 rod. Looks slightly different but fits fine. About $80-90 plus postage

good to know the cross rods are in Ebay...might have to take a look.

here are the part numbers...from BNT. The larger ball joints (BJ176) are for the later models. I found the BJ92 suited my 1972 coupe.

I founds that BNT didn't have the inner tie rods...and ADL had a bit of trouble getting the left hand threaded ones...
The guys at Penrose are on to it though. The ADL part numbers for the inners are SE-4142L and SE-4142R. they are listed for the 120Y (B210).

check out my idler...thought it was totally fooked, but it just turned out to be just 43 year old plasticky bush

Every single datsun I have ever owned has eaten a set of idler arm bushes.
