Hi

I had a tie rod issue and Scootz sorted me out with a pair from Cortina as I was told it may be by the previous owner. On looking at the thread they are different and I am now left guessing it's escort.

Any tips or info that would serve me well in identifying would be really appreciated as I would rather avoid the process of ordering tie rods and Stirling them until I find the right ones. Is it a case of they will be OK but I need to get the adjoining track rod ends and just put them on?

Hope this isn't a stupid. Thanks

mk 1 escort early mk 2 rs 2000 mk1/2 cortina tre are differnt threads mk 3 45 cortina sierra granada same thread patern

post a a few pics of it if you can


I beileve my dax one is a mk2 escort one so I can measure that up to copmare to your if need be...

Mk2 Escort have exactly the same thread as Mk3 to 5 Cortina M14x2 which is visibly a very coarse tread.

Mk1 Escort ( and also Capris ) use 0.5" UNF which is a quite fine thread.

also M14 has approx 1.8 mm larger diameter than 0.5" UNF
