[QUOTE="la_bigmac, post: 641969, member: 21101"] Hello all, My last MOT resulted on yellow chalk being scribbled all over my track rod ends etc. I have lived with this situation without incident, but have decided its time to stop pushing my luck as I have a few longer trips planned. Questions to the hive mind. 1 - Is it bad to fit adjustable tie rods to both sides? Factory would have has one fixed and one adjustable? In my mind, two adjustable has to make tracking easer, right? 2 - Any tips on preventing completely messing up my tracking? 3 - Do I need the extractor tool? I am planning on replacing the track rod ends and rods, the rods might be serviceable but do look pitted a tired and are probably original. Advise welcome :-) Mat [/QUOTE]
