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

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.

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.
