Peak tie rods look like any other cheap tie rod outer you can buy for these cars. The rod end they use doesn't have enough misalignment capability.

If you guys are talking about spending $300 for a very minor correction in roll center - is there genuine interest in a set of spindles for say $1000-1200 and aluminum arms for maybe $200. Add in the price of hubs(probably use off the shelf Nissan stuff from another car) and ball joints/shanks for more adjustability - so another $350.

I'm seriously considering it given the talk in this thread, but I'm wondering if it's just talk when it comes down to the price being about $1500-1800 for a set of aluminum/adjustable spindles plus control arms up front. On the plus side, you'd have new hubs and ball joints up front, so you could maybe consider some of it maintenance expense.

So what's the Zilvia response? I'm thinking if people have such a problem with $300 for a set of rear spherical bearings they'd freak at the thought of spending this much on their car.
