Blackrat Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 you do need the whole armit says the inner ball joint , it can be a pig of a job to do it, and you will need the toe checking once you done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />number 4 is the track-rod end as is available on its own (above picture!) its pretty rare for the joint where it fixes onto the sterring rack to go, as it s protected by a rubber gaitor border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />the other ball joint it may refer to is number 9 on the above pic, fixed to the wishbone Edited May 13, 2007 by lupogtiboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazraz_uk Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 It turned out that it wasn't the track rod end but the steering arm that it bolts onto, ended up costing £118+VAT for the side I needed (the cheaper of the two sides as its shorter than the other side).Oh well at least its all fixed now, and no more juddery/ knocking whilst turning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
