    the whole rack thes in the engine bay.

    how hard are these to change ? i've had a look and access seems pretty tight.

    or can you just chance the track rods mine siezed on the passengers side.

    Is it out on both wheels? So why don't you just lengthen the tie rods on each side to rectify it?

    nah pal only on the passengers side you can look at the wheel and it is obvious its out and the tyre has worn on the outer shoulder and thats the side that has siezed.

    just a thought to adjust the tracking do you crack both the nuts off on the one side and turn the bar thingy?
