Default Track Rod Ends

Hi guys I've gone to buy my rs2000 track rod ends from Saturn and Andrew has kindly offered me sierra track rod ends as an alternative due to builders having trouble with the tapers being too small for the sierra uprights. Just curious if anyone else has used the sierra ones over the rs2000 and how they got on before I decide which ones to go for? Also silly question probly but if they're sierra track rod ends does that mean I could just take them off my donor??

If you used the sierra front uprights/ hubs then use the sierra TREs


PS As long as the joint is tight and not floppy

His track rod ends are no problem as I have fitted some today,donor ones are likely to be shot

I brought some RS200 TRE's as part of a deal from ebay, but they were too small for my sierra uprights, but i haven't got around to buy some sierra ones yet. For the price of them I wouldn't use the Donor ones as flyerncle says they probably worn out
