Track rod ends

[jemgee]

Just looking at track rod ends on Eurospares £107.72 each plus VAT so close on £260 in total. Are there any alternative parts eg Alfa etc

Try Scuderia Car Parts:

I've had great success with them.

I'd be confident they will match something in the Fiat group, not sure if anyone has matched them yet, maybe have a trawl through the alternative parts thread with an advanced search?

I posted recently about track rod ends on a gaillardo where a mechanic I use was quoted £600 for parts! He looked at them, measured them and can confirm they are VW Polo ones at £6 each!!!

I think Superformance have done all the leg work locating alternative - £34.95 +VAT

Would it be possible to measure the track rod ends and see if the the sizes match these for a Fiat Stilo?

Good job I’ve not fitted it. Will go and get some calipers

Good man, I look forward to hearing what you find.

Threads seem the same.

M14 x 1.5
M10 x 1.25

Assuming I’m measuring the right bit



The bit I’m not sure of the is the cone dimension. The thinnest part on mine is 12.4mm and it’s longer than 12mm

I'm pretty sure it's the same part. It would be good to check them out side by side. I don't need one, but when I do I'll purchase one of these first and check it out on the car.

Many thanks for taking the time to measure it so quickly.

When you change the one on your car, could I ask you to send me the old one please? I will cover the cost of postage. If you do, I will purchase one if these and check them out and post the result.

The track rod end is a trw part no 21b 14a if that helps? Also gaiter trw 36020098.

 

[Geo]

Excuse my ignorance, what is TRW?

Maker of components for cars.....

TRW is a manufacturer.

Sure.

Also found this Stilo one that looks the same as the Maser one

 

[Geo]

Thanks C, I'll go and do more research.

That is the same company I found.

That is the same company I found.

I was looking at the website you posted and these were listed under Stilo too, but the have two flats rather than the hexagon bit so look just like the ones from Superformance

Thanks for the options guys. Can I push my luck for alternative front discs for sport GT rather than Eurospares pattern version?

It is not 100% confirmed yet that they are the same, but it looks like it.

So, let me get this right, these parts are the same.
Maserati price: £129.26
Fiat price: £7.94

Thats at x16 markup and one expensive ******* box!
