I've got a bit of play in 2 of the 4 track rods ends on my disco 300tdi so I'm going to replace all 4. Current ones have grease nipples but I see there are sealed ones available as well. The cars not getting off road abuse so would the sealed ones be better of should I stick to nipples....and buy a grease gun???

I prefer the ones with nipples but personal preference and cost it down to you

as I don't own a grease gun and have never had a vehicle with grease nipples I think I'll be going for the sealed ones then, cheers

I assume you still have prop shafts and UJ's, they will have grease nipples and will need greasing. May be worth buying a gun for them anyway and then you can pick or choose what TRE's you want.

I've been looking at the kits on Ebay and theres around a fiver between them. The Bearmach set being sold finishes with the statement

"definitely not from Britpart". Does this imply Britpart stuff is not up to scratch ??
