Afternoon all, I have just brought new inner tie rods , track rod ends and drop links for my trophy. As it's feeling a bit sloppy, question is how to get to the inner tie rod nuts ? Would it be possible if I turn it on full lock to reach the nut/ coupling from the wheel arch ? Going to do both sides ,
I put mine of full lock and managed to grab with a pair of grips, it was a bit of a struggle though, I have seen the tool mentioned by MicKPM though and it looks like it would be a doddle using this.
Cheers for the info , i like to struggle and don't like to spend money, so looks like a day of fun ahead
sorry for OT, but does anyone know if some better tie bars and track rod ends are available than the OEM Renault parts ?
Ok quick update, borrowed tie rod remover from a mate , new drop links on, tie rod ends on however the stock tie rods are 250mm the tie rods I have been sent and also what pretty much every supplier lists are 230mm , i have checked with 3 different suppliers today and they all list the same rods for all meganes this is not correct, so no old ones are back on for time being, I think so far that only renault will supply the correct part, at £50 each side,
Non gen ones are always too short for sports. Best to go gen for inners and non gen is fine for outers.
