Masked Marauder Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 It is simple enough if your careful. Holding the track-rod so it can not turn, unscrew the locking nutMark the threads where the rod end comes to with tippex Split the ball-joint offHolding the tracking rod so it can't turn, unscrew the rod endHolding the tracking rod so it can't turn, screw the new rod-end on to where the threads are markedHolding the tracking rod so it can't turn, nip up the locking nutFinish re-assemblyRepeat for other sideHave car tracking checked and adjusted Quote

Masked Marauder Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 Yes, several types are available, an I have tried most of them, but the one I found most durable and robust was a simple fork one like this: http://www.tooled-up.com/artwork/ProdImage/38859.jpg http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=1...Joint-Separator Quote
