Griff / Chim Steering rack tie arms

[wadsapple]

Can some one point me as to which car the steering rack tie rods are off. One has some play now that needs to be looked at. Do I have to buy the arms or are bearing kits sold separately. Any suggestions

Power or non PS Perry.

a very good Morning Peter sorry forgot Non power assist

Is it for your griff?

I have a spare non PS rack.

The power steering rack on my car has adjustable ball joints whilst the joints on my spare manual rack aren't adjustable. I have never seen spares for the adjustable type, however the whole track rod is fairly inexpensive. The manual rack ball joints are crunched together and can't be dis-assembled.

Sure. Remind me of the size please Perry.

There are differences in some of the non-power racks; I had two racks but trackrods were not interchangeable. [we are talking track rods and not trackrod ends]

yep I can as I wasn't ready to pay for the TVR name on the invoice. The 295mm ties are from a Granada and the 330mm ties are from a Ford panel van part number ss735 I paid 9 quid this morning rod ends are ford Granada six quid but you will have to compare those as mine were on a race car and might be a tad more heavy duty but I dought it.
