JamesD Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 I bought a set of track rod ends 2nd hand a few months ago but this weekend I went to torque them up and realised the thread was knackered. Could anyone tell me off what vehicle do these track rod ends come from? I would like to get some tomorrow from my local motor factors. P.S. I have the standard Westy steering rack.

Mark Stanton Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 James Certain parts should NEVER be purchased second hand - its just not worth risking your life for a few quid I'm just replacing my track rod ends - nothing wrong with old ones - just that I consider they've been on there long enough and as I'm in re-furbish mode, then new ones are needed - my old ones will go into an emergency spares box I got all my bits from the guys at Cat delivered next day Quote
markg Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 track rod ends are cortina mk 3 4 and 5 and will be about £4 each from a decent motor factor!!! how much were the second hand ones??? and find qh rod ends if you can if you need part numbers i think the boxes are still stuck to the floor!
