Title: Omega Facelift Rear Control Arm : Please Confirm
Post by: Kumamoto on 24 June 2011, 08:51:57
One of my rear control arm(Tie Rod) for the rear axle is knackered and i need to get a new one. I found one in german ebay and won it. But before i pay i need to get confirmation that it is the correct one. Can someone please confirm to me if this are the correct parts. Cheers

Just got a set off one of my Omegas at the moment for refurbing and can definitely say that those on the German ebay are wrong. Look like they are from a front steering rack (not Omega) to me.

The bush and ball joint at each end are usually ok but the adjuster in the middle often seizes. They can be a pain to free up but I have managed to free up mine on both Omegas using a large vice and a hefty pipe wrench. ;)

Thanks alot guys for that!! Would have ended  up with a wrong spare part that i do not need after moving it from german-UK- then kenya. I bought the used one recommended above they should be fine as only one is worn. Cheers guys :y
