Can't see why they'd be different.

Yes, it will fit. I did not know they were different. I have three PFL cars and three FL cars and I fit track rods indiscrimately. I always buy aftermarket ones, so much cheaper then Vx. They fail MOTs now if the gaiters are torn. I buy German ATE boxes of 2 wishbones, 2 track rods and 2 2 drop links for £70 the lot, and fit the parts as necessary.

I have bought from them a couple of times... quick, tidy service, and for the price, the parts are pretty durable, lasting 20k or so :y

Their wishbones are pretty well built compared to Firstline and Delphi rubbish ones...
