I have a slightly used "Marlink" heavy duty tie-rod with FJ-80 tie-rod ends. I used it for 3 months before going to the crossover steering system on my 1984 4Runner. It should fit any solid Toyota axle (but not guaranteed). This is a fantastic upgrade for any solid-axle stock steering system. One of the ends has a 1/4" slit in one of the grease boots. It happened when I was taking the tie-rod off from the ball-joint seperator. It has never been in any water with the seal slit. If I were to run it, I would throw some silicone on it and drive the wheels off of it. If you have any questions, let me know. I bought it for $127 plus shipping from Marlin in May. I will sell it for $85 plus shipping. Shipping is from Boise, Idaho 83703. Thanks.

 

someone? anyone? give me a price...

 

talk to me

 

one more try, make me an offer on this

 

My son will probably want this. Send me a PM with a price you may be thinking of. We are in North Bend, WA. He's working late tonight (wind damage)

Any pix?

 

Dont you still need this for your high steer????

Or is it some kind of J-arm upgrade?

 

no, you cant use it for highsteer. the new knuckle steering arms set two inches wider than the stock width tie-rod did. so pretty much the marlink is only good for someone with a stock steering set up on a solid axle. the upgraded fj-80 tie-rod ends are the same and worth keeping around for me (since they are $30 a piece), but are necessary for the marlink. check out marlin's site: http://www.marlincrawler.com/htm/steering.htm

this is a picture of the marlink in action, but i dont have a picture of mine. i will grab one tonight when i get home.
