Mine really were feked when I binned them, if taken off a breaker here and checked for wear in the ball joint, I don't see an issue with second hand. My originals lasted 165k.

I fitted Lemforder in the end, both sides brand new

£8 for just the track rod end. The other side is solid.

Considering decent droplinks such as Meyle HD, are more than that for a pair. You must be buying some shite parts!

A bit rich coming from someone who refits 160k brake discs...

Besides, my cheapy ones last at least as long as those super duper Merle HD ones... ask Jimbob how many miles his lasted... sub 20k iirc ::)
