Track rod ends PAS
Discussion
(and i only done mine last year)if i can dig out the part no i will post up 
Sorted out my rod ends, escort Mk2 jobbies £11:50 the pair from my local factor. One rather worrying thing I noticed though, some on this forum have recommended 'sierra' rod ends which I initially asked for , well the ones I saw were 'cranked' ie the rod end pick up point was not in alignment with the
axis of the rod. If people have been fitting these ends it would explain the 'bump steer' problems being encountered ,as I would imagine it puts the geometry between the rack and the pick up point out of kilter which is the major cause of 'bump steer'. When I asked the chappie on the computer if there were any other type of sierra or granada track rod ends the computer said 'nah' !! So Escort MK 2 it is then.......
I hope I haven't offended anyone by this post ,I just thought you ought to know

Not on my PAS model they are sierra and straight axis of the rod. If people have been fitting these ends it would explain the 'bump steer' problems being encountered ,as I would imagine it puts the geometry between the rack and the pick up point out of kilter which is the major cause of 'bump steer'.
