track rod end to upright fitting?
daniel mason - 6/9/10 at 07:43 PM

is there a tapered sleeve which slides into the front upright to take the taper on the track rod end?
the taper on my rod end is way smaller than the hole in my mnr front upright, meaning it will not tighten properly!
cheers!

Not sure if the MNR is the same as mine, but I remember having to use a jack to push the TRE taper up into the hole on my (Cortina) upright in order to get it to grip enough to be able to tighten the nut without turning the whole shebang

The poor fit can happen if you have RS2000 TRE's and not Cortina ones.
This problem can arise if they were supplied by Rally Design.
