is it not just the track rod ball joint ends that are longer. rather than the steering arms themselves.

he means the arms maxiboy i think!

jay, that collar thing in the middle, u need to undo that, its supposedly an absolute bitch to do, particularly if you want to reuse the parts.

get a garage or someone pro to do it for you imo

thanks fella, just had a good look through dialogys and found out how to do it from the repair section ( they call them axle bearings :? ) waiting for a friend to come round with another pair of mole grips and if that does'nt shift them then its off to the garage :lol:
