Ford bits
« on: 27 November 2012, 23:13:05 »
My Dad's 84 2.3 Granada went through its MOT today, passed with an advisory on a track rod end. Local 'trusted' back street garage in his attempt to change it managed to snap the end of the inner tie rod off.  ??? ??? HTF he managed that ...... no idea. The problem now seems to be getting hold of one for a MKII. Loads available for 85 onward MKIII's, there's even a pair of MKI available in the States, but none for his MKII  :'(
Any suggestions  of a supplier would be most appreciated!  :y :y

There is a Granada estate in G+E brekers in Haydock, pretty stripped but it may yield some parts Andy
