Jake:
I need to change the ball joints on the track rod.
I have the new parts.
Someone told me that i have to count off (turns) the old ones and count the new ones on
Is this right?
Any other advice or infomation i might need, please post it.
Ta
 :D

Xtremeteam:
yep thats right,also does yours have an adjuster on the tube cos if it does u need 2 rh threaded TRE's but if it doesnt have the adjuster u only ned a Lh & rh TRE,also DONT heat it up to realise the TRE's as you then makwe the tube scrap as it picks the threads up inside,take 2x 2IB hammers & chap them together with the tube inbetween to realise the joints

Wanderer:
As long as the replacement parts are the same length stick a bit of tape over the exposed threads and then wind it off.
you'll have guide in case you lose count of forget :)

It might just be us oldies that do that.

Better still, have the tracking checked after you change them, even counting threads/measuring, it's surprising how far out it can end up, and tracking is cheaper than a pair of new tyres.
