Track rod end ball joint.

[DrR]

Car failed the MOT on the above, how much is one of these fitted?

Is this the part?

That's a ball joint (attaches to the wishbone and then into the hub).

The track rod end is a balljoint on the end. If it's that that's failed you just need a new TRE.

Looks like this, about £10-£15 for the part. fitting maybe 3/4 - 1 hour tops if its a pain to get off. Then best to get your tracking checked after. Another £20-£30. So probably £50-£80 depending where you go

Fitting the TRE yourself is easy if you have somewhere to do the tracking that is fairly local.

As barker said.

Fairly easy to do yourself set it to a similar position as the old one then go and get the alignment checked.

Ok cheers, sadly can't do any work to my car myself at the moment, will probably be going to k-tec

Track rod end is about £40 for genuine, or £20-£25 for a decent quality non genuine. They'll have the right bits for you
