Got a bent front O/S tie rod

[NTEL]

Hi Chaps, Discovered that my front O/S tie rod ( goes from back to front, as per series 2 FHC 2.8i) on the racer is bent, causing the the bottom "bone" to twist ( hence cocking up the caster a bit). Anybody got a spare one doing nothing that I can purchase to save me making a new one.

Probably bent it at Cadwell Park in 2009 when I went Armco surfing at Barn Corner

[Number 7]

Could it not be hammered straight again? - off the the car of course, and on a suitable anvil or other flat surface.

Maybe remaking a pair to take Left&right rose joints, if your going to replace, so its more adjustable.

Thanks for that Graham

Managed to get that mess sorted and get the car out in the second race just 3 hours later

Unfortunately the rear suspension fell off 2 laps from the end of the race due to the hub carrier splitting in two pieces. Bugger!
