Front Tie Rods... Is this right?

Before i go for another alignment i want to get some new parts.

My rear end is absolutely brand new thanks to the new arms at the rear which came with the air suspension

BUT
last time i went for an alignment on the front. The bolts were seized and i think there is a lot of wear on the front tie rods and they have had to unseized using a blow torch multiple times now.

BUT I AM UNSURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PART?

can you guys just confirm please

Moog parts from Mister-Auto

Ah thanks a lot mate!!!! Appreciate that
I think the ends have a little soft too, so they need an upgrade to tighten everything up.

HOpefully the discount applies !!!!

Mate,

Where exactly do they do the adjusting?

Would i need both parts or could i just get the tie rod end(7) in the link below and use my existing Tie Rod Axle Joint(4)?

I had to replace the entire section as mine were seized solid. Ideally change it all but if you can get the ends off then you can just change the end.

Don't buy drop links! I'm assuming you don't have them any more?

Also don't forget to get it aligned at driving height!

If yours are seized then yes you need to replace both. Carparts4less do the whole track rod and end in the Lemforder brand for £50 a side.

BIG THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU!!!
I think it may be safer just picking up entire track rod and end. £50 a side is a gd price!

Thanks for the tip mate!!!
