rip off track rod end prices?????where can i get some from?

[jamesey]

ive been told be my garage that all 4 track rod ends are knakered on my jimny , ive rung around and the cheapest i can get 1 for is £40 each
thats a rip off , do you know of anywhere cheaper i need 4  :'(

Thats better than any price I've managed to get. I got a quote for genuine at £42.70+ vat  - 3 day delivery or Blue Spot same price at a local parts supplier -  next day delivery. When I opened the Blue spot box the parts were in genuine suzuki packaging. I havn't found a cheap alternative yet  :(

i wonder if this was my steering wobbling problem all along , kap said he would sell me front and rear arms with the trackrods on for £20 the 2 , but he dint garuntee the rods , i dont know if to risk 2nd hand rods what do you think , the garage had to take my rods of and heat them up to budge them they will have been on since 1999 by the looks of them
if i have them new it will be £700 ive spent on the jimny in the last 4 weeks with the lift and all , i still havent got my mud tyres yet they will have to wait :'(

I've bought 2nd hand 'rods' and they've been OK. The worn track rod won't have helped your steering wobble, but news ones didn't completely cure mine. I plan to re-build my front axel this summer to see if that cures things? Must say its starting to become a bit annoying.

get a discovery steering damper like i did it works wonders

I put my pro-comp one back on - and its inproved things no end, but the damper is well past its best. E-mailed Llama4x4 about brackets for disco damper but not had a reply?
