Postby tibsy » Mon Sep 28, 2015 8:36 am

i can detect "slight"play in the above item (ns-passenger side). not sure how much is ok for mot purpose`s(due soon).

so i will get it done.
i have found this one-http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390534419154? ... EBIDX%3AIT
anyone used this company?

how much are "genuine ones from the dealers?

are any special tools required to release the track rod from the "steering rack "?

You can find them cheaper than that (and at this price I'd take a chance)

just checked again and the "slight knock" i thought was there was actually because the "steering lock" was on :oops:
turned the key and released the st/wheel lock and it is ok after all :D
