I've taken the track rods off my N-reg 300Tdi discovery to replace the ends but reached a problem. It has had heavy duty steering bars fitted but on inspection, one of the track rod end threads is about 6mm thicker than the standard one on the other end. Does anyone know where these arms may have come from or where i can get a replacement end for the fat side?

Thanks, Harry

I forgot to say, this is the front arm that goes from the steering box drop arm to the axle if it's any help

I don't recognise those arms but paddocks do HD ones so it could be worth asking them.

Cheers Ratty, rang mail order 4x4 and mm4x4 and they sell HD arms as a pair but all with standard ends. Tried paddocks but no answer. Asked them all if they sold HD arms individually so i could buy the just front one but no luck. Worst comes to the worst, Gwyn Lewis sell arms individually so I can buy just the front one.

Persevere with paddocks mate... they do the arms individually and they knows of what they are talking. My little laqd just changed all of mine with some of their's... no problems.

Managed to get in touch with the previous owner, he bought them from LRS Offroad a few years back. Will ring them tomorrow and If i can't get one of those enormous TREs from them, i'll get a new arm from Gwyn Lewis
Thanks guys, Harry
