Title: Wanted - Rear Track Rods
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 20 April 2015, 09:24:18

As above and I need 2 as mine are solid.  :(  I think they are the same for estates and saloons?  :-\

TIA!  :y

If you get stuck, ATP sell them, as do All German, prices are pretty reasonable iirc :y

Oops, didn't actually answer your question... ::)

They are the same :y

Remove and replace one at a time, and set them to the same length as the old one to preserve the settings until you get it set up... which I guess will be quite soon after the wishbones are done :-\

Got a new set for the MV6 and had WIM fit them when they did the set up. Got them from ECP at about £100 of two.

Thanks chaps!  :y  I'm trying to keep my costs down as I also need to sort wishbones, get it set up and fit tyres all round.  ::)

I've removed one of mine, which I think are original and even after 230,000 miles the ball joint and bush seems to be in good condition.  So if anyone has an unseized and unwanted set kicking about?  ::)  :y

I made my own from threaded steel tube, rose joints and some adjusters for much less £££ than the cost of buying OEM replacement arms.

Do the same job and will last forever  8)

Just saying like lol
