    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Steering box to wheel = drag link
    Wheel to wheel = track rod
    Chassis to diff housing = panhard rod

    Is he talking about the "Pittman arm" from the steering box?
    Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .

    WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

    Is refer to it as the Tie rod too. If your trying to buy one then I doubt you will find it listed as a Track Rod, I can't say I have heard that term before.

    There is a few different names for the different arms but Drag Link and Tie Rod would be the most common I'd say.
