Default escort mk2

hi I need some help. I have fitted biltein adjustable coilovers to my mk2 escort and the tapard hole in the bottom of the leg is bigger than the end of the tca. I have been told that the tca are all the same .

yep you're in trouble.
the tca's are all the same
are you sure the hole is tapered?
as it may be for a different setup with a bolt through,
i.e if it came off a car with,say, compression struts and homemade tca's (to widen the track) witha rod end at the end?

pics would help

Due you mean TCA, or Track Rod end? The track rod ends do differ.

true, but the steering arms should be bolt-on
that's why pics would help
