Default changing Track rod ends.

Hey yall.

I need to replace my track rod ends. i have some new ones there copy ed items and are a completely different length to the old ones so its not just a case of unscrewing the old and putting the new ones on to the same setting.

Is there a certain way to replace them and set them up ....


cheers.

to set them up youl need tracking gauges mate do you not know anyone with some. just take the car there and change them there it will take you two mins then set the tracking.
