Inner tie rod part for a V7 STi


eZ_Harry

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to source a genuine inner tie rod for a V7 STI Sedan. The car came off the production line really early, first registered in December 2000, which I believe makes a difference to what part you need.

 

I'm pretty confident the correct part number is 34160FE00, which Partsouq unfortunately doesn't have in stock (I'm doing a bulk order from there, so would be cheaper to get it all from them).

 

There is a similar variant for cars from June 2001 onwards, 34160AE000, which Partsouq does have in stock. The guys from winger said they are very similar, but he wasn't sure that they were interchangeable. 

 

BNT and Partmaster don't have the correct part in stock, and Winger is absurdly priced... so hoping to avoid that.

 

Anybody able to advise if 34160AE000 would fit my car?

 

Cheers

I'm going to say the AE part will fit because the tie rod end that it connects to is the same part number for cars listed as using both the AE and FE inner tie rod?

 

@Loren @boon

I just spoke to a guy from Strong For Subaru, he said that the thread on one of them is 14mm and other is 16mm. If thats the case, it would pretty much guarantee one wouldn't fit right?

 

I guess the side that connects to the outer tie rod end would fit, but the ball joint side wouldn't fit

 

In saying that, I don't have much experience with any of this and happy to be proven wrong

From the pics it's pretty hard to say... the AE ball joint does look chunkier than the FE and the thread def could be bigger.

 

If the thread on the AE is bigger, then you could possibly have it cut down to a 14mm thread... or alternatively go to the newer rack and change both rack ends to the AE.

 

If you are going to cut the thread on the AE... at a minimum get an engineer to assess the safety of doing that.

@Loren  @boon I pulled the existing inner tie rod out, visually it matches to the FE, but the thread measured 16mm.. weird. In saying that, I don't really see any reason why either AE or FE wouldn't also fit. The hole on the rack which you screw the ball joint into is just an empty cavity behind it, so if the thread was slightly longer I wouldn't see why that would be a problem. And the longer thread on the side which connects to the outer tie rod wouldn't be a problem either as it would just allow you to make a more drastic change to the alignment.

 

I'm almost tempted to buy the AE just to find out if it fits...

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
