Weekend's comin'...

Useful to know. My main beef is that I hate an off-centre wheel. Last T2 was about 5° out. I drove my tyre supplier crackers getting that sorted.

I'm kinda OCD like that.

:nenau

My local tyre house never got my 05 plate centred either. It was very annoying to say the least and it scrubbed the new tyres too. Only part of steering that wasn't replaced was steering box.

A little tip to anyone fitting these soon, before you fit cut an old inner tube into lengths the size of the thread in the middle, slide it on and secure tightly at one end with a cable tie, squirt your grease gun inside a few times then pinch the tube the other end and cable tie off tightly again.

Next time you come to have your tracking done the guys in the tyre place will moan like hell that the tie rods are greasy but then when they realise they can release them with a spanner and not have 3 guys hanging off them with a bar in the air they soon shut up :thumb2

Just watch them if you off road a lot that they don't get pierced, easy to slip a new one on though, I know it seems like effort but anything to add life to my parts and I'm game :thumb2

Great tip :thumb2, hope I can remember it in new year when I upgrade my steering :lol
