I seem to have a problem with the track rod ends,

The hole in the sierra uprights is 14mm at the wide end but the rs2000 track rod is only 12mm at the base.

915

Could someone please check there track rods and uprights measurements for me thanks.

It's tapered so the TRE should go in and stop.

The rs2000 ones are from rally design, which is also the reason for the problem with the length of the extensions.

They will fit they are tapered, if you push the rubber down a bit you will see it gets wider.

Thanks for the help guys, i new i couldn't trust my memory, doh

SeriesLandy, if i push the rubber all the way down, it's still a bad fit.

I bought one of these kits from EDS-Motorsport,

Will order the Sierra ones tomorrow:rolleyes:

Once again thanks for the help and advice.
