Do Not Sell My Personal Information

I can't make sense of this garage report, so what repairs does my car actually need ?

I've had most of this suspension work done in December including tracking but it has been pulling to the left, even right after getting repairs fixed few months ago.

Got a suspension test but can't really understand on the form what needs doing the way it is laid out.

Bearing front
offside front wheel bearing noisy £125.92
Track rod end 
offside track rod end worn to excess £68.33
Track rod end 
offside inner rack end worn slightly £68.33
steering rack axial rod £88.33


I think I will try replacing tie rod ends myself but why does it say offside track rod end both on the same side ( offside track rod end) 2 x £68.33 as it is saying it is the same part, not left and right but just the left.

and what is steering wheel axial rod ? is that the track rod ? if it is why are they charging separate for that, why don't they just simply put replace both front track rod and track rod ends ? 


Please help clear up as much as you can here. thank you

You need a wheel bearing, track rod end and a track rod.

Thank you very much for replying sir.

What is a  steering rack axial rod ?  Is that a track rod ? 

what is the offside inner rack ?  is that a track rod ?

 

it's saying 2 lots of £68.33 , 1 lot to replace the LEFT track rod END and £68.33 to replace the LEFT track rod,   it says nothing about the  driver side track rod/end  even though that has slight play 

 

 

please reply brother

 

 

 

thanks

have they perhaps put offside for one of them instead of nearside? therefor you need a pair of track rod ends (recommended anyway) 

yes I was say what they have put means the track rod.

I am sure that is just a typo, sloppy writing, the mechanic meant nearside for one of them.

For axial rod, see:

Looks relevant to me, but I am no expert on steering bits. I guess it is the rod the track rod end screws to, that goes into the rack.
