Title: Centre steering tie rod gone; where to buy?
Post by: terry paget on 16 October 2014, 14:17:17

My 2000 2.5 Omega saloon has failed MOT on centre track rod steering box drop arm joint failure. Bought a used one, joint is worse than mine! What is best source for a good one?

All German I guess. Used wouldn't normally be a common failure. Where did you get it?

Thanks Al. I shall order one forthwith. I wish I spoke better German. My wife will help me.

In answer to your question Chris, I bought it from omegaspareparts.com, Steve Brown. I reported the problem, he rang me, said he has sold several of these, apologised, said normally it's the other end (idler arm end) that goes, asked me to return it and he will refund cost and postage.

You should be able to navigate the item into the basket and through checkout from the link :y

As for the old one, Steve is always quick to resolve any issues :y
