Tie rod?

Hi All,

I need to replace the tie rod (left hand side, fixed) but i cant find one on line, can I fit a right hand side one on the left? or can someone please point me in the direction where I can get one from?

(91 Sportline)

Cheers, Andy.

You can buy a inner tie-rod and an outer and make it fully adjustable.

My 90, 92 and 93 are all separate outer tie-rod ends and inner tie rods

You need to make sure you set the track up and steering rack when fitting a new adjustable track rod in place of the original fixed track rod, Haynes manual or possibly on the site has the measurements etc…

Access is not great to the locking nut on the steering rack and you may need to remove the gearbox mount so you need to support the engine and gearbox.
