Hi all! My very old Mitsubishi Pajero III (V60 from 2000) got a 2" lift kit and now the rear wheels have too much toe-out. The stock tie rods won't adjust far enough and there are no other original "sizes."

So I need some aftermarket tie rods for the rear axle. My own research tells me I need a shorter (longer?) version of the original part number MR508134 (Imgur).

Two questions:

  • Am I correct that the rear toe angle is adjusted via this part?
  • Given that the stock MR508134 is no sufficiently adjustable, what sort of aftermarket part should I be looking for? I'm in Europe.

(For the sake of completeness: the front tie rods have adequate adjustment range.)

Glad i could help!

I didnt even consider angle mounted control arms! Sorry about some semi-wrong info then….!

Your Imgr link isnt working for the picture, but i have seen the style you’re referring to…i just didnt think about them while typing out my reply! So that all makes sense then.

Let me/us know what you get figured out! Always fun to learn new stuff!
