Steering stops

[96terrano]

Does anyone know where I can get new steering stops for my 1993 terrano?

you mean the white nylon efforts?
why bother, a quick dab of grease occasionally is all whats needed,if however you really want some (before i learned about the grease trick)the only place that would do them for me was the nissan main dealer and there was a 3 week lead time.

Nissan dealer quoted me £3.00 each or £12.00 for 4

At least their sums are right :lol 12 quid will buy you a really big tub of grease and a monkey to apply it

The cost was not the problem,it was the lead time,and sincei have only had to apply the grease once in 18 months why bother?

:thumbs At least you had some of the plastic part left, mine have been as bald as a badger's a** since I've had the car (two and a half years) - greased them probably 3 or 4 times during that period, nary a sound from them since.:thumbs

whilst on this subject ive noticed when i pull onto my drive full left lock its fine till the n/s/f climbs the inch high kerb which then gives off an awfull grind sound:doh sounds like the whole front end is trying to separate itself . ive also tried right hand lock exactly the same so im hoping grease is what my motors crying out for

Certainly sounds like dry steering stops!

Don't use full lock then, take it a bit wider.
I grease mine twice a year, and I never hear it crunch.
I have also used waxoyl.
