V8 vantage track rods

[milu]

Had my alignment checked. Pretty close to correct but a small adjustment wouldn’t hurt,though not essential. However the adjusters seem stuck fast...my mechanic didn’t want to go mad to undo them. He thought to be perfect I could replace track rods and ends then set up.

Seems though that the track rods aren’t available from Aston. I’m sure this has been covered before but can’t find it
Anyone else bought or sourced them.
As said it’s not a big deal really but thought I’d have a look

Have you tried the 'Aston Martin Alternative Parts' sticky thread above?

The famous tie rod ends...

Vauxhall Frontera ‘98-2004 plenty available form £8 - £19, you get what you pay for.

Fit most of the Gaydon era cars including One-77

Thanks for that. Knew I’d seen it. However the ends are the cheapest bit. The main rod,from the rack,is the expensive bit. I’ve been quoted £300 a side which isn’t funny nor worth it for a threaded rod!
The adjustment required is so small it makes no financial sense at those prices.

Tell your mechanic to buy a bigger spanner and undo your track rod ends. There's nothing unusual about the design of the rack.
