Track rod end probs
RobC - 27/3/05 at 08:18 PM

I am trying to fit these to my 7 but when I come to tie them down the nyloc just keeps spinning round making it tricky to tighten... Anyone got any tips...

Probably an easy solution, but I am full of cold and not thinking straight.

Cheers for any help..

Weight them up a little by putting a bottle jack underneath, don't lift the car on them, just enough to jam the taper

No pic, but if its what I think it is, try putting the jack under it and put a bit of the cars weight on it, that should lock the taper.

I'm full of cold too.
But I like to call it "man flu"

Cheers guys. will look at it once I am back on my feet.

Havn't left the couch all day... good excuse to watch top gear all day though...

Or find a plain nut with the same thread, and use that to tighten the joint up first...
