Bit of advice i received from a wise man many years ago Only turn the steering wheel as you move this relieves some of the wear of the joint and tyres

Without wishing to start the handbags swinging again, I would be a bit suspicious on fitting a £15.00 Track rod end on such a car. How much did that cost to produce, giving that the end price after traders profit is £15 including delivery?
Call me old fashioned but it's a fairly critical part to skimp on isn't it??

It may be worth noting when you fit a track rod end to a spa car and then do the tracking / wheel alignment it has to be reset using vida so be careful
Work for Volvo and it takes about 1.30 hours to fit track rod end wheel Alin and then set on vida and road test for the car to learn new parameters
