Iirc my old M-reg valver was a female track rod end, but even then I'm not 100% sure about that so not much use :lol:

I think the female ones have a 'tab' sticking out with a bolt where you tighten them up over the track rods - should be quite easy to spot if you have this.

Then they are female and are easier to change as the male ones tend to seize on the track rods, well mine did :twisted: :twisted:
