Hi




I had an advisory on my mot. Pic attached.

What part do I need to order to rectify this? Is it just the L shaped track rod end near to the wheel? Obvious question I know. But just wanted to check.

I got the wheel bearing done. Just the other but I need help with as can fit myself.

Advice appreciated. Always very helpfull on here. Excuse my ignorance.

yes the track rod you can do your self .

on the diagram its 3A130

pressing on that leads you down to the part number

which is: 1743642

putting this into ebay with the word transit

gives you 1500 results

then it's up to you to spot the good stuff and exclude china rubbish

once fitted you'll be paying a hell of a lot more for the tracking to be done


all the best.mark

Always check the tracking after fitting a track rod end if you count the turns when screwing it off and put it back the same I’ve had more that the tracking didn’t need adjusting but totally the opposite when changing the bottom wishbone they are usually way out
