These are a high quality piece of engineering, thanks newton:excellent: can recommend to everyone who plans to do the tie rods.
Mines are currently stored with the new tie rods awaiting Marci's service next spring......would like to replace the rear bones at the same time to give me an all round new suspension set up even though they seem ok, but financing may restrict that plan.

Technically, they have been handed over unfortunately, however, I'm not saying if one of you guys PM'd me I wouldn't send a set over. I think I somewhat have customs figured out as well........I just send a vial of blood, or an arm and a leg so you guys can get them....lol.

Sorry guys, I know I haven't been around so much. I work on a lot of things so it's a bit difficult sometimes to get on here. I am still around though!

I have a facebook page I also try to keep updated now called White Dove's Estore where I post projects I'm working on sometimes. Please feel free to stop by if you guys would like.

Gonna fit a set this week. I watched the video! Just had mine 4 wheel aligned yet there is no mention of how to set them these the same as the ones coming off? Any tips on not having to get the alignment done at a cost again after fitment?

Phil; I'll try and post up some videos if I get a chance, let me know if you need sockets for them.

Basically measure from a fixed point on the bone to the mid point of the outer stud (of the tie rod) before you undo anything on the tie rod, this will allow you to get it close. You will need to put it on a geo setup when you are done but you can get fairly close by measuring. Mine were about 3mm different each side.

I used Elite in the A13 at a cost of under £60 for a 5-wheel setup to my own spec (aggressive road/track)
