Inner track rod

[oreA]

Looking at my options for new inner track rods.

RPD have a sale for the genuine item at a tad over £25 each side (plus postage, c.netfree only valid over £60), which I think is a good price & I was happy to go with until I got my usual 60% off voucher at GSF.

Any experience or views on this kit?

Works out at £11.40 per side after discount penmouth:!

Thanks .

doesn't spec a make so wouldn't trust it, some cheap ones are awful and sloppy again after a few months.

as long as the renault one still comes with the rack boot than it's a good price on the offer, the renault boots are excellent and worth the extra.

Because the non-discounted price of the GSF part was £28 I was trying to kid myself that it was a decent part. Naive of course, when they’re really only £11 :smile:.

I’ll go RPD, it does come with all bells and whistles :up:

Now can we delete this thread before everyone else buys up the RPD stock please :tongueclosed:.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Genuine only for the inner I say.

The rubber boots are decent as bloke says.

Any way of testing the inner before removing everything? I need to do my outers and don't want to strip everything down to find out I need to do the inners too but also could do without buying them to find out mine are ok

Ive just bought a pair of Lemforder inners for £40. However they don’t come with new boots. I haven’t changed inners before, are there any issues using the old boots?

Not really, should be ok to use them again as long as they're not torn.

I noticed a wobbling when rocking the wheel @ 3&9 o’clock (nothing vertically), then when I disconnected the track rod end I could feel play when pushing the tie rod in & out. Hope that makes sense!
