Title: Tie Rod
Post by: gnj588d on October 28, 2015, 16:23:45

Need to replace a ball joint on the offside front {UK car} tie rod would I be better buying the complete
tie rod and ball joints,thinking it might be pre set at the factory,any advice on fitting would be appreciated

I think whichever way you do it you should have the steering alignment checked afterwards.

Personally I always recommend changing the whole track rod; they are quite often seized.
As Larry says, take the car for wheel alignment when you're finished.

107 tie rod assembly uses the same parts. Ask for that and you won't go wrong.

Even VW tie rod works on Mercedes up to late 1970's.
