Track rod ends.

They have had it!

My '85 350i has power steering, from what understand the rack is from a Supra??, but the hub etc. is Ford??

So do I need to visit a Ford or Toyota dealer for the replacements?

Thanks

Track rod ends are Granada - available most motor factors - probably not from Ford (no longer stocked at most dealers)
The rack is not Toyota, Supra is the name of the Company that supplied the rack to TVR.

From what I've read the rack is from a rack manufacturing company called Supra not from a coincidentally named Toyota Supra car!
TREs are Ford to mate to the hub.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Track rod ends have to be from either Cortina 4/5 or Granada.

I had mine done last month. My garage ordered them from TVRcarparts I think...forgot to ask what they originated from ...doh!

TRE's are Granada/Cortina - do a search on ebay and you'll pick them up for a tenner a piece.

Thanks for starting the topic. It's not often the search actually works around here
and this time I didn't have to ask anyone.

It's crazy isn't it Mike? The wedge group has been on PH for many years now and I see these questions come round again and again.

I agree.

It could be such a valuable tool, and exactly what the internet and PCs SHOULD be good at.
