Hi Tommo, The garage that says that you have inner track rod ends is telling the truth mate and they do wear, but they are usually refered to as inner ball joints, not a difficult job to do but will need tracking up after new joints fitted so you dont scrub your tyres off. cheers Dave

You will also need to renew the locking washer.
Pull the gaiter off the steering rack so you know what your after.

I just did my track-rod ends. But there was nothing wrong with the inner arms. But if you change the inner ones... change the track-rod ends as well. IMPORTANT: Don't buy original track-rod ends... they cost 100$ each. I bought them from a car-suply company in Scandinavia for 20$.
