Any recommendations?
-
I assume you mean the rear track control arm?
There are several on Ebay, Lemforder, LCC, and Moog - all around the same price £40-£45.

Yes, that is what I mean. Found it thanks. Actually what I need is only the central LH/RH bolt and nuts. Perhaps could make them in workshop but does anybody know whether those parts can be bought separately.

ATP sell all three parts individually :y

90541266 = Nut RH M16x1.5
90541267 = Nut LH M16x1.5
90497200 = Adjuster Rod M16x1.5 = LEMFÖRDER 14901-01
It seems to me that it's probably better value to buy a complete track rod assembly.
There seems to be two different part numbers for the rear track rod assembly. The ZF catalogue suggests that MY96 on have 90538921 and Chassis no. to: S1 048381) have 90497197. I don't know what the difference is? Or is there some other application in play, perhaps Saloon vs Estate?
It also seems that some models, probably earliest have a rod assembly that uses clamps instead of locking nuts.

The locking nuts clamp down on a slotted chamfer on the outside of the track rod ends. The adjuster runs on a thread inside the track rod ends and don't touch the nuts...
The nuts seize to the outside thread and the adjusters seize to the inside ones, and if you're really unlucky the build up of crud will seize all five bits together...
