Compbrake Rose-jointed Track Rod Ends?

Recommended Posts

kate205gti

has anyone had any experience of these please? :lol: apparantly you need to drill the strut in order to fit a straight bolt (not tapered), is there any other modification/setup needed??

 

cheers :)

Don't buy cheap rose joints, there wear out quicker, PTFE ones are good but not cheap, as to fitting thou, drill a suitable hole, bolt and nyloc nut to fit.

They mean the hole the track rod end goes through in the hub carrier.

 

Probably easiest to take it off the car, put it in a vice and use a big battery drill with sharp bits.

 

 

Why you want RJ'd trackrods anyway? :P
