I've just bought 2 new track control arms for £50 from MAD FOR IT on Ebay. They have a slightly thinner casting.

Have casting materials improved in design or could I have bought inferior parts?

Wish I had £300 to get some of Brom's bad boys!!! I've got tyre wear on the outer edge on both front tyres. Will a -25mm drop cause this assuming the tracking is spot on?

Where do you guys get your track control arms from?

 

i ordered some from someone else on e bay too mate. they have not arrived yet..

but i have asked in fords for some genuine ones, and they told me they cannot get them!
so sadly i think IF these motorquip/autofactors pattern ones aint much good,
then the Zoo ones might be the only option! (a good option though from what ive seen!)

 

Just call Rally Design and buy the hard ware your self to make the adjustrable ones all you need is a hack saw and a mig welder,there a peice of piss

 

Or you could just buy em from Brom Pete, and save yourself the hard work.

Any news on them bits mate?

 

you can still get new ones from Ford, they've recently gone up from about £116+vat to about £157+vat

 

Hard work an hour !! I was making these for my rally car 10 years ago,buy the hard wear and save a fortune

 

i really wish you'd said that a week ago before i ordered mine lmao

fancy making me a set mate!? lol

 

I may start if there £300 a pair

 

Maybe so Pete, but if I welded up some TCAs, they have more holes in them than a block of Emmental cheese, and be just as strong!

 

the simple answer is to get someone who can weld to do them for you

 

I've seen some of Broms work, & seeing as a T.C.A. is a major part of what holds the front wheel on the car, i'd rather pay a bit more money & now i had a 'proper' set.

 

well take it from me mate welding aint hard

 

I'm sure it aint Pete, but I'm not gonna take the risk and find out!

Just saw these on Ebay.

I don't think they would fit my crossmember.

 

why not who ever elds them up and sells the you does

 

of course they will fit thats exactly what you want and bloody cheap too,just ask the seller if you get the "top hat" spacers with them

 

Holy crap!

EDIT: My bad, thought it was something else...Still expensive though lol

 

they look brillient mate
good find

 

Very true - which is why I trust 100% anyone who does work on my car.

 

Look at the big picture pal before posting shit,these are are speicals and probably worth more than your whole car,they are modified to do a job

 

i can weld, but stuff like that is better left to people who do it every day, thats not an area of a car you want to scrimp on!!!

 

yeah not hard to make. but weldin is my trade.

good price £145.


mine cost me just over £115 to do, and a hour or two.

 

Wouldn't those Ebay track control arms be a lot noisier Pete? Mine is a road car.

 

All ours are always done in a Jig, it is quite simple, but Pete's making it too simple.

If you ain't sure about your own ability then buy some from anywhere that is.

Dont want people thinking its easy and messing it up and something going wrong on the first roundabout eh !!

Can you return Ebay ones if your not happy ? You can from most other places - and the returned ones then get sold on Ebay I bet

 

because it is simple

 

Do you want me to ask him - its my mate lol

 

Tony, are you writing in your sleep?

 

Yes - just had my breakfast now so I can have a lie in tomorrow.

Its too hot to go to sleep I tried
