Tie Rod Ends

[Banshee]

If you've been following the Milner thread in this section you'll know I was there yesterday to pick these up, I also treated Marvin the Maverick to some new lower arm polybushes as well as he's due for MOT on the 22nd but i want to get it in early

I haven't fitted the bushes yet as I wanted to get the tracking sorted first and get the two new BF's fitted at the front, then I'll do the bushes and give her a massive wash and valet and then I'll be Waxoyling the underside while the weather is fine and I have the week off work :thumb2

Here's the old Tie Rod Ends!!!!! manky or what!!!!!! and before you ask, yes they were seized solid!!!!

But now I def think I need my tracking doing lol, I even tracked that by eye using string lol

Tracking and steering wheel centralisation are two different things, to centre the wheel shorten the OS link by about 3/4 turn and lengthen the NS by the same, as for tracking you will need to go to a garage, but not before you have replaced any other related parts like your poly bushes as all will have an effect on tracking, you only want to pay to have it tracked once, Rick

Defo do those bottom arm bushes first. They effect the castor angle and you may also find the chassis has worn at that point too

Ah balls already had it done
But I do get a free restest if I bring it back in a month

That doesn't sound good, what do I do if the chassis has worn?

Weld the bugger up again
If the bushes have worn then the end of the comp rod will gouge out the hole it goes through in the chassis. If so you'll need to knock up a plate each side with the right size hole in it.
Fingers crossed it's not bad though, good luck :thumbs
