Good job!

Have to say it was quite an interesting five mile drive to the tyre place.

I thought I'd got the new 'rods about right length-wise...

...how wrong could I be!

She wandered around like a drunk sailor on shore leave.

Never mind, no harm done, now straight and true.

Lord no!

If I'd left them off completely it couldn't have been THAT bad!

No, not at all. I didn't do just the ends. I did the whole track rod, both sides.

I had a complete set of new tyres on my truck, which I bought earlier this year. I was supposed to be having the tracking done at the same time, but one side was seized solid. So for the sake of £60, I decided to replace both sides entirely.

Henceforth, I had to get tracking done afterwards.

Hence thread.

Yeah on one of my trucks i did inner and outer track rod ends both sides when i replaced the steering relay arm and the idler arm.The track rods can be a Barsteward to free off.
