Westfield, 182, 200
Bought a pair of inner tie rods from ECP, bought lemforder part number 600745365 correct part for an SMI rack on a non cup 182, 2005.
Put the car on stands, removed the old rods, fitted the new, put the track rod ens on 20 turns to get a similar steering toe in, checked the measurement from before starting as a double check and it was way out. Turns out the Lemf rods are 15mm shorter than the ones that were on before.
I now have around 20mm of thread holding the track rod end on instead of 35. Is this safe? Anybody else found this?
