Track rod ends

[Itsme]

Car just been through MOT advised on track rod ends,
Where is best place to buy these and are they different to 16v cos of the wide track.
Are the easy to fit just case of unscrewing from rack?

I just get mine from the local auto shop. East to fit, sometime a little stubborn to get out but they will (Be brutal). Count the number of threads that're hangng out on the existing one and offer the new TRE' up to the origional one, to make sure its the right length before you go whipping it out. If you screw it back in too much or too little it'll change you're wheel alligment, So try and get it pretty accurate.

(I think its the alligment it effects? It make by the camber though)

same as the 16valve items...the actual arms are longer not the track rod ends.

will need tracking once done.

If you are just doing the ends and not the actual rods, only problem is when they are seized. I replaced the whole arm, but if you use a good deal of heat you can get them off.

You'll need to hold the main rod in place and turn the end to unscrew it. You may be able to leave it attached at the ball joint/stub axle and loosen it up by turning the rod itself clockwise to unwind the track rod end.
