Having got the camber sorted I thought i had better make sure the track rod adjusters were free before fitting new boots and having alignment checked

Siezed or what!

Had to remove both track rods (no probs with a decent splitter) and each end of the rod took over an hour to get free!  (blow lamp and hammer required)
Rebuilt all nicely greased up and adjustable by hand.
Roughly aligned using a length of string from rear tyres to front.
Couldn't get the tyres i wanted or geometry done at the place i wanted so went to my usual trye supplier. (Cabot tyres)
Using their bog standard alignment checker they reckoned i had 2 degrees toe in, but not very accurate as the rears are out of alignment.
£96 for 2 Wanli rubbers all in, went home and took out most of the toe in, so next job (other than the MOT) is to free the rear adjusters and get the whole thing done properly.

The adjustment locks for the track rods only need doing up to catch the thread.  Most places do them up so damn tights they are awkward to undo.  I ended up repacling mine on my previous Senny - only fo rthe reason they couldn't be adjusted in situ.
