Inner track rods

I changed inner track rods and track rod ends last week, together with new boots and clips. Very straightforward. After fitting, I started getting what I thought was worn suspension rattles which got worse by the day.

Got underneath it today, removed the boots to check the spindles. One had come loose by 2 or 3 turns. I must not have tightened it sufficiently and when it susbsequently when for alignment, they must have loosed it during adjustment.

The moral is make sure you tighten them up properly. A few swings on my big 18th adjustable today has them fully tight and I will monitor. Another costly wheel alignment also required.

Sloppy work by yours truly. Anyone attempting this job, please make sure properly tightened. 2014 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography & 2015 3.0SDV6 HSE Lux Discovery 4

Good advice!

Try F1 autocentres for alignment, did my toe on the hawkeye for £30 and checked the rest. Some kwikfits also have a hawkeye and our local one has checked mine for free before now...... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Funny you should suggest that, I have just changed to an F1 Autocentre after problems with a long standing tyre shop that I have always used, but who recently lost my trust. F1 were fast, clean, pleasant, good value and have all the gear. 2014 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography & 2015 3.0SDV6 HSE Lux Discovery 4
