Title: Trackrod ends Post by: A1.6HPE on 13 May, 2007, 04:08:44 PM Hello does anyone have knowledge of the different sizes of trackrod end ?
My 1600cc non-powered steering Trevi has 17mm size nuts on the swivel joints but the 2000cc powered steering car has 19mm size and the swivel tapers follow the size of the nuts (OK, I know its actually the other way around). The difficulty is that when the wheel bearing fails on one, it is not simply a case of swapping the hub over from the donor car. My query is: Is this a difference between 1600cc and 2000cc versions or a difference between PAS and Non-PAS? (or other). Both cars are first registered in 1982 but the 2000cc car has an earlier VIN. This must apply to all Beta variants.

There are often non power track rod ends on e-bay for, if I remember, around a tenner each.
