Track rod length

[mark123]

I've got a new set of Lemforder track rods/inner arms. They are about 15-20mm shorter than what I have on my 172 cup.

There will still be at least 20mm inside the track rod end. Is that enough?

Thanks

Track rods are dealer only items. But should be fine with 20mm of thread in the rod end.

nope, 172cup/182 cup are dealer only, the ones you have are for non cup

Thanks guys.

Fred how much of the rod is inside the TRE on non cup 1*2s?

Side by side they're identical. Just one is 18mm shorter. I can't see that non cup would have different position by more than a couple of mm. Unless the rack is different as well?

I don't mind buying the dealer ones. But if 20mm is enough I don't need to.

So to people who fit track rod ends regularly - is 20mm inside the TRE enough?
