track rod ends question.
 

i've just collected some sierra track rod end that i ordered well they were ment to be when i picked them up they had escort on the box. the part suppliers said that they are the same part i'm dubious about this. can anyone shed any light on this. cheers mateys

If rs2000 parts (mk2 escort) fit escort mk2 steering rack and sierra uprights then they could well be the same. The only thing is there are two different types of track rod end, swept version which are handed and straight.

Try them in your uprights before you take them back. I bought what are supposed to be RS2000 TREs from EDS and they don't fit my uprights.

There is a difference in the taper,use Sierra ones and grind off the triangle at the rear of joint.

Are the threads the same as the escort ones? Don't want to have to get different extensions.

Not too sure as it has been mentioned before but I think they are,try them on gently and the sierra ones have the triangle on the back.

i'll have a look and get back to lot cheers for your help.
