iirc, they are a TC item :)


I seem to recall from York there was a slight lack of precision in the steering, hopefully that may cure than issue :).

Also seem to recall a the brakes could probably do with a service ::)

Me too needs track rod end.

Car passed its MOT at the weekend (and I was delighted) but I got an "advisory" on the outer RH track rod end. The guy was very specific in telling me it was the outer one but I see from Jimbobs list that these are available as both "long" & "short".

How do I determine what one I need?

What is the difference between the pr-99 and later versions of track rod ends? Pattern ones seem to be the same throughout the range... Or is it that the newer can be put on older cars but not vice versa?

Hi

I think i need some track rod ends as well. Haines made it sound quite easy but having done a bit of research have found that there are normal and outer parts. I need the part which is used to adjust the tracking. 
Any idea which bit that is?
Thanks
