90% sure the threads on steering rack are same.

100% sure (know for fact) the endlink threads (size) is different between s13 and s14. i've tested it personally

when you go to like pep boys or something order same year of car you have, if you order s14 and you have s13, wont fit stock endlinks

tein aftermarket s13 to s14 are SAME part numbers, which lead me to belive the steering rack side is SAME

hey dousan, sorry to bring this back up again but a guy here in the UK wants to fit s13 tie rods with aftermarket bushes to his s14, going off the information you have posted above does that mean its impossible that they will fit on and work properly or is there a way they could?
cheers

tc rods!!??!?!

that's different.

tc rods yeah they SHOULD fit
battle version sells the same rod for s13/s14

not 100% sure depends on brand and how much adjustabiltiy they have. MIGHT work, but no guarantees!
