TRW made the originals, avoid whatever junk served up at eurocarparts !!

I have put two new track rod ends on the KV6. They are SKF and I purchased them from Autodoc. I was disappointed when they arrived because they were made in Turkey to SKF specifications? I will let everyone know how they perform. I took the boots off them and there was quite a bit of grease in the one, not so much in the other. I put grease that goes into the universal joints of the drive shafts, so I am awaiting the results in ten years? time how they perform.will report back after 12 months.

I couldn't find TRW when I changed mine a couple of years ago so I used QH ones, seem decent quality and okay up to yet.

I do have TRW brakes all round though, fitted three years ago, I am very pleased with them.
