Where to get drag link reconditioned in NZ

Post by Lunacy »

As title says.
Went to my normal suspension guy and he said it was gonna be $370+gst to have it done :shock: :shock: :shock:
Am i right in thinking that that is quite excessive?
If anyone can point me somewhere else that does it for a reasonable price let me know
Cheers

I wonder if you can retrofit a drag link setup from an A164A Sapporo/Galant/Eterna etc like mine - the drag link just has the holes for the inner tie rod end ball joints and pitman arm/idler arm balljoints to attach to, rather than having ball joints on the actual drag link itself.
