The track rod ends are Mk 3, 4, 5 Cortina, FTR4040, if you need those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WINGNUT Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 @Jonk179 I've recently replaced my top ball joints courtesy of help by @Robin (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO and the numbers he's given are correct. Track rods are for cortinas mentioned and the upper ball joints fit standard and wide track Westfield front suspension wishbones. I quoted the part number given for upper ball joints and my supplier mustn't have been able to obtain so supplied frontline FTR4701 these are also good for the job too. Can't help with lowers as never changed yet but will watch these posts for all options. Scott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonk179 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Di knew you knowledgeable folks would see me right. I'm going to order these on Monday. Looking to rebush all the suspension at the same time and fit new shocks and springs. Any advice about which suspension bushes to go for? Also SEW front/rear shock lenghths and Spring pound ages. CVH engine and passenger and I quite like pies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 If you need steering rack gaiters, I used SRG047 and SRG200. I had to get 2 sets as they were different side to side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonk179 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Thanks Robin I will probably change the gaiters at the same time as the cost is minimal. Have you changed your suspension bushes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
