Replacing Track Rods

Recommended Posts

I've figured out where my bits go on the rack rebuild with quickrack conversion (2.5 turns :rolleyes: ), but now I have another problem.

 

The old rods both had the grippy washer thing on each end where it screws into the rack, whereas the new GSF replacments I have do not. Only one side has it. The side without does'nt even have notches that the washer grips onto on the balljoint housing. Just comes with a plain washer.

 

The part numbers are correct though.

 

Anybody else experienced this?

Yep, I found this. I think some of the pattern parts dont have the lock washer. I just used some locktite on the threads....

I bought some of the lockwashers seperately from Peugeot for not much money.

Yes, but some of the aftermarket rods dont have the cutouts for the lockwashers to lock into :)

The rod that does'nt have the notches for the grip washer actually comes with another washer, with a notch to locate it to the actual rack preventing any movement.

 

I gather it does not matter which way round they go then given that they are the same part numbers. Only P/Steering rods has different sides, correct?
