Just bought a set now and got home and they arnt both the same.

One looks like its the same as on my car and the other is different. Do they have to be the same?

One is straight and the other bends off to the right.
Thread lengths are different, nut sizes are different.
One track rod end is 1/4 inch bigger in length

They are totally different. Is there a chance theyve got them mixed up or are they different to the originals?

 

What car??

 

Xr3i.

The ones on now the old one look the same as each other so i take it the new ones should look the same?

 

Anyone no?

 

They should both look the same if it's a mk4 they are the same both sides and if it's a mk5 they look the same but handed.

Its a mk4. Think theyve give me a mk4 one as it looks the same and fits and give me a mk5 one as ive just got me old ones off and the other one won't even screw on!

 

Mk4 ones are the same mate, I fitted a pair at the weekend there.
