Steering relay rod

[R1cho]

well after i passed my mot today with NO ADVISORIES the testing bloke said i would more than likely need a new steering relay rod before next years mot, anyway is it just me or is this thing stupidly designed wouldnt it make more sense to have it so the ball joints on either end can be changed instead of having to replace the whole thing?

oh yes its stupid alright. but you will find if you have play , it will be the idler worn first

i had one fitted recently, got rid of the ongoing wheel wobble that i could not sort out.

bought one of the bay for about £70

i had to do mine also, got it for £25 from a club member :thumb2

yes, it is a silly design, but i suppose for a reasonably good off roader, and reasonably good on roader, it must make sense.
