I thought I was going to get a bargain for only £22 quid I should of known that Suzuki bits are more expensive then that.
I should hopefully get a refund from them and have just order 1 froms camskill so hopefully be back on the road by the weekend.
I think there is a general rule with Suzukis, if the part is cheap then its the wrong one! A couple of us have been down that path with the wheel bearings!
There is some hope on the horizon, Rob from this forum seems to have found a source of cheap Tie-Rod ends. The part numbers do seem to tie (no pun intended) up and once he confirms it actually fits, I will post further info. Up to now I have really struggled to find tie-rod ends at below £45 each but it now looks as if the manufacturer has not listed them as being suitable for Jimnys when they are. If you look up "Jimny" on the manufacturers website it fails to list anything. When you look up the part number (ie a reverse lookup) it comes up with....Jimny! So you have to know the part number before you can look up the part number - crazy!
Currently seem to be about £18+VAT

Hi,
At the moment neither us or ADL blueprint have stock of this cv joint and furthermore ADL cant give us a due date as to when they are getting some more. Would you like us to try and find a different supplier for this part? Please advise
I have found these guys -
