 Help with parts for steering arm locking! Pulled the arms that lock the rear steering to change out the tie-bar ends. I discovered that one is a stock Mini one, and the other one (inner side on the subframe) is reverse threaded and has a larger shaft.. see the pic.. can anyone tell me what car the inner ones are from? The larger reverrse thread one is at the top of the picture.. Thanks

Re: Help with parts for steering arm locking! I have changed the system on my car, but prior to that with a system like yours they were all just standard track rod ends.

Re: Help with parts for steering arm locking! I have searched and read the other threads, but I can't find mention of what car the inner track rod end comes from. It is definitely not from a Mini. Both the tapered shaft diameter and the threads on the shaft are larger.
