My chim has been for its MOT today and passed woohoo. But while it was being tested i took the opportunity to have a poke around while it was on the ramp. Good news is the chassis is perfect. But i did find a bit of uplift in the steering rack on both sides where the track rods go into the gaiters, so i am guessing the inner track rod joints are slightly worn (up/down so not enough to detect at the wheel for MOT)

So, what car is the manual rack nicked from so i can order some new track rods/ track rod ends and gaiters hopefully without paying TVR taxbeer

The rack is a bespoke TVR item. The track rods aren't expensive so you might as well buy the correct part.

Available from most of the other dealers as well.

Think there are a couple of different length versions so make sure you order the right one's, Perry (wadsapple) went through this a while back iirc

I've just ordered some replacement TR Ends, I'll dig out the part number but they were for a mk3,4,5 cortina, compared to the original parts they are exactly the same.
