lemmingzappa 75 1 Cars Posted July 10, 2010 They are 12.95 each on ECP (or are they actually a pair ?) Or 6.90 each from GSF.....are the GSF ones ok ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 243 3 Cars Posted July 10, 2010 All pretty much the same from every manufacturer imo. I suspect that the ECP ones are also each but I got a pair of QH ones for about £10 from my local motorfactors so went with those instead. Last QH item I bought was an emergencgy cl;utch cable for ym 306 that turned out to be the same make as an oe cable (Dura). Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,645 Posted July 10, 2010 IIRC Motaquip ones from Motaparts were something like £3.90. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lemmingzappa 75 1 Cars Posted July 10, 2010 Ah never mind, I got a pair of QH ends delivered for £12.94 which isnt too bad I guess. The de-pas'd rack I'm putting them on doesn't have any ends attached though. How many turns should I do each side before I get it tracked properly ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willmounsey 1 Posted July 10, 2010 I've the same rack and ends and going by the thread on tracking I've got 6 visible threads showing on each end, its looks ok but i think it might need a little more adjustment I'll have to wait till its off the axle stands to see.

lemmingzappa 75 1 Cars Posted July 11, 2010 I take it copper grease on the threads would be a wise idea when I fit the new ends ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lagonda 41 Posted July 11, 2010 Definitely. When I changed mine there was a hell of a lot of rust dust in the track rods, & one of the TREs was a right pig to unscrew. All because previous owner hadn't bothered to grease threads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MerlinGTI 3 Posted July 22, 2010 Ive has motorquip and 'first line' TRE's most recently and the bloody rubber boots keep perishing in a matter of months. Fine other than that. Im going OE this time round when I can be bothered to change them, hopefully my booties wont crumble then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewm 1 Posted July 22, 2010 They are 12.95 each on ECP (or are they actually a pair ?) Or 6.90 each from GSF.....are the GSF ones ok ? What makes are they? Got a pair of Delphi ones on trade from the local factors - £5 each, although tried to remove them after 300mile to get shafts out - gunned the nuts off but and only way I could get them both out of the hub was by smashing them with a big ball joint splitter which split the boots. Not sure if I overtightened them but what a fricking nuisance. Be nice to find some that can be counter held whilst slackening\tightening the nut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
large 33 Posted July 22, 2010 Mattew, could you not just acquire some rose joints from work and nut and bolt them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewm 1 Posted July 23, 2010 We dont keep many rose joints - especially any that I'd trust on my steering - although very good point Huw - I'm going to look in to that now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
