Which ends/balljoint should i be using to connect an Escort Rack to a Sierra Hub ??

I've tried escort trackrod end, but it's too small to fit the hub

I've tried sierra trackrod end, but the thread isn't the same....

So whats the answer please people, cos i can't seem to find it anywhere on here

Thanks

maybe make an extension like thing that screws onto the escort size thread and has sierra size thread at the other end. Did u need an extension as well or was it previously the correct length?

No extension is needed.... it's a standard rack.....

I know it's been done, just wish the person knew what balljoints had been used

Someone must know what to use !

sierra track rod ends will fit onto escort track rods

It has to be a Mk2 Escort rack or you will not have the metric track rod ends you need to suit the hubs.

yours, Pete.

It is a Mk1 Escort Rack.............

So what can i do ?? except change the rack

Get your money out. You should get an exchange rack for a decent price.

New track rods? Burtons sell them

Yeah, i really didn't want to start spending money on stuff like that, just wanted a set of ends that would work

have you tried a set of cortina track rod ends ? I know later (mk4 and 5) are metric M14 2.0 threads maybe earlier ones are not ?

That said an exchange rack will only set you back £30 ish

New Tie rods in Burtonns £7.62 each

Cheeper than an exchange rack.
