Cheers Discool,

So 3 RH and 1 LH track rod end will do it all?

not a typical one where there different on all discos are they lol,

and yeah Lemforder are OEM but im still swayed to Delphi Lockheed tho not sure why just like the name better i guess.

Well hopefully the 2 weeks i have to do a overhaul will pan out as i want and go well without injury or cock ups!

Have just done this with Delphi ball joints.
Getting old joints out was a swine-had to bring the arm into work and use big vice and very big stilson
Also before removing make sure you measure the distances the old ones are at and put the new ones in the same so tracking and steering centre are about right
Busterbus has a nice pictorial in his how to do list
Best of luck
