the rod in front of your front axel is your steering rod m8 and if its knocking that probably means 1 or both ball joints are worn to excess THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS and should be repaired immediatly if the joint or joints seperate you CAN NOT STEER NO MORE not a big problem if your standing still...

set one side to zero or parrallel the new bar set the other side at the same time to zero on the gunson sliding tracking guage perfect used the front bar to set position of steering wheel spot on only took about 40 mins to do the whole job so there you go :D:D:D:D:D

how does that work measurements would be exellent if posted here thanks will save a lot of messing about with sliding guage

they said to much trouble for the price think ive got it sussed though have tracked vehicles before but never done a landrover as you know landrovers have two bars for the steering 1 in front of the axel off the steering box and 1 beheind the axel the origonals can be adjusted on either side...
