OK, went up to the dealers this morning, and the quotes were expectantly steep.
Think I'll order the items from the ebay site: tierod69 as above.
Have been out today working on the car. Just really having a look and try to understand what all the parts I need to replace too.
Have also broken the torque on all the bolts, but still need to break it on the tie rod end. Locknut is loosened, just not the end fitting.
Had trouble getting some components loose. Especially the 18mm lower balljoint nut. But a good soak of fluid bit the job.
Pretty impressed really seeing as its 15 years old. No sheared bolts or rounding heads.
One question I have is that do I need a ball joint seperator? I think I do, but just wondering because I've never used one before.
I'll take the back wheel off next and have a look of the caliper and see what i can do to get it working.
One more question: On the front suspension top mount, there is a female allen key socket. Is this bit the top of the front shock absorber?
Cheers
