 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

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.

Nope, didn't find that one.. so not so good on my searching then! Thanks Neil.. I'll drop Alan a line to see if will send them off to Canada... Cheers
I assume the setup is the same for Rossa as the Coupe then??
