delboy Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 slacken off the wheel nuts jack the car up remove wheel remove the nut that holds the ball joint under the wishbone. undo the nut that's on the track rod end une a hammer to release the ball joint from the wishbone then count the amount of turns it take to unscrew the track rod. jit the new one the same amount of turns you just counted. tighten up the nut on the track rod & tap the balljoint onto the wishbone tighten the nut onto the new wishbone & refit the wheel. i would replace the whole part inck the arm of the track rod phone this place for it. cost's about £15.00 inc postage i think maybe best to do both sides as you may find if 1 is gone it wont be long for the other to go www.buypartsby.co.uk ford will be about £70.00 or near that as i was quoted that for my galaxy a yr or so ago. should take about 30 mions approx. i hope this helps you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
