Hoorah - another 12 months Omega motoring
« on: 15 August 2019, 11:36:33 »


Chuffed to bits, despite the advisories. Discs looked okay to me prior to test, so nothing to worry about there.

New track rods fitted 3 years ago....... thought they might last longer than that, but there's a lot of cheap stuff around.

Any recommendations for decent track rods?

Track rod ends? Lot of potholes around.

Result! Well done.

Cheers Folks. Yes, that is consistent mileages per annum, purely by luck and doing only 1 longish journey (70 plus miles) per fortnight.

For TREs, I *ALWAYS* use GM ones now. They might be 50% more expensive, but they really do last, unlike all the pattern ones I've tried, which at best give you a couple of years.

Obviously, that's GM from a real dealer. Not egay, Autovaux, or other dodgy outlets that will likely send you pattern shite

I don't mind paying over the odds, as long as it's good stuff and will last longer.

Much better putting money into quality, rather than regular changes and alignment adjustments.
