I have cut too many threads off the end of my cortina steering rack

How easy is it to replace the track rods with some new ones ??

Should have listened to my dad ...measure twice cut once

try pulling the gaiter off and look. on a granada one, there is a screw apart ball joint on the end....

ont sierra it looks easy, clamp in vice and use a wrench to bugger it. Might have to remove/unbend so locking tabs too.

Piss easy!

Some of them have tapered plugs driven into bored hole in the balljoint outer to prevent movement/tampering but are easily drilled out

thanks, got my hands on a haynes cortina manual and some new track rods.

Just need a pair of new locking pins and a few other bits and should be OK

thanks

grrr.... went to ford and was supplied with some locking pins however they were the wrong ones (too big and too harder metal)

Anyone know of anywhere else that stocks this sort of thing ? The ones I need are a soft tapered pin about 10mm long
