Inner tie rod replacement help...
Anyone know where I can buy the inner tie rods for my mk2 steering rack. It's a quick rack and has no play but the rack ends are trashed after
welding extensions up which don't fit my new tiger :-(
I've looked about but without success..... Has anyone changed the tie rods before.....
Thanks

Picture would be handy, showing the parts that are stuffed. Cheers Ray

Have you tried talking to Rally Design, as they sell the mk2 quick racks...

Hence the replacement 
Would be ok for track day but not for road use

But a propshaft it isn't a slender strut in compression, and RWD Propshafts are generally seamed welded low carbon mild steel not high
tensile medium carbon steel.

well unless you pull back the rubber cover you cant see its been welded which i would guess they wouldnt do.
Anyway im gonna get new inner rod ends so i will be ok as ive got proper extensions now.
ANYONE got any spare inner track rods please?
or a cheap mk2 rack i can buy?
Thanks
