Track rod ends
« on: March 04, 2021, 08:43:13 am »
Had the gti serviced at R-tech yesterday and they think I need a new track rod end.

Any recommendations for the best ones to get as I will replace both?

Thanks,
Al

As far as I know the only options are oem, oem-spec or as I like to term it "ebay-spec" which I'm always 50/50 on. Personally I would just get them from euro car parts or car parts 4 less and get oem-spec, never had a problem with quality of items from them, my mechanic rates the bits I've used from euro car parts as well so good enough for me.
