190 Track rod-end question.

Salad-Dodger · 28th January 2018, 14:51

Are we to believe that the steering track-rod end taper on the 190 is different to the 75?
I've bought a rod-end and its not the same spec as the one coming off the car.

I notice too that the new one is about 14mm shorter
Just shows how careful you have to be.

Also, I'd like to know why I can't post pic on here these days. The two I have are thumb print size and it still won't let me post them!

I always thought that they were all the same on every MG/75!

Well I have a picture here of both of them side by side if only I could post it on here! I've been to the "how to" and had a go with that and that doesn't work either. It used to be so easy to drag and drop, but not anymore.

No, they're both the same.

Then they've sent the wrong part.

Has your subscription lapsed?

I use an image hosting service.

are you saying that I need to subscribe to use the pic hosting service?
If so, how do I do it?

Back to the item in question though. I think you are correct. they have sent me an incorrect item. It looks the same until I put the propper one beside it.

I think so. You said it worked OK before, so I assumed you had been a subscriber, but then lapsed. Someone else will confirm that using the forum's server to store your images requires the subscription. If so, seems fair enough to me. If not, someone else will tell you how to do it, I don't do it that way.

Pay the subscription, I guess...??
Or use a photo hosting site (but not Photobucket unless you'e very rich).
There are threads on the popular alternatives.
