I need to replace the struts,tension rods, tie rod/ ends/ control arm and maybe the spindle /knuckle.

Im going with all tein ra's struts, tension rods and tie rods/ends.


I found some control arms with ball joints but there for an s13. Can i use them?

Wow, you are in the exact same boat that I was no more than a month ago.

This might help a little.

For spindles/knuckles, just get them from Nissan.

As for tensions rods, I highly recommend the Kazama.

Tein tie rods/ends are fine.

Tein RAs are good.

S13 control arms are different from S14s.

I would also get that from Nissan.

Everything is best gotten from Nissan except for tension rods, tie rods, and struts.

I read you post and didn't see much about the knuckles/ spindales. Also what systoms would i have if i need to replace the rack and pinion. Cuz i think since i have to buy all the parts i might as well upgrade the entire front suspension/steering components

For knuckles/spindles, just go Nissan OE.

As for symptoms of a shot rack and pinion, I'm not really sure.

I would suspect that sloppy steering could be a symptom as well as slow steering or unstable steering.

I wouldn't replace that unless you know for sure it is busted, they can get pretty expensive.

Ok i've seen a bunch of posts about suspension parts everyone recommends. Now i got a question. I will be replacing the tie rods/ends, tension bar, bushings, rotors and struts all around maybe swaybars. What combinations of products would you use?
so far i've been looking at tein, brembo, whiteline, rotora, kazmas and jic.
95_240sxse i like your plan just trying to get a couple ideas.
Also any good spots to do the one stop shop?

mmm you will have to hunt around, as the imported stuff (kazama, jic) are usually hit and miss. ex- someplace carries kazama rod ends, but not t/c rods, etc.
