These are LEMFORDER Track Rod Ends, (LEMFORDER is what Land Rover originally fitted at the factory), but these are not just the standard LEMFORDER joints. These track rod ends are GREASEABLE, to help prolong their life. Comes ready fitted with our GL1172 POLYBOOTS giving a much longer service life along with our Stainless Steel GL1045 ball joint boot Clip.
The main difference with these joints is that they are internally spring loaded. They have a metal ball and a metal cup, the spring is constantly holding the cup onto the ball. Because of this, these joints can withstand impacts, such as potholes, as the spring compresses, not causing damage inside, unlike the nylon cup ones do. They are greaseable, however, do not force grease into them as the ball is seated on the lower metal cup and only allows minimal grease to pass, they are pre-greased here which means they may not need greasing on fitment.
If you find they will not take grease you need to compress the joint, similar to the last picture or rotate the joint. This also helps unseat the ball off the cup allowing grease to pass through into the boot.
Fitment Guide:- Smear plenty of grease on all threads to stop them from seizing up in the steering bars.
Land Rover’s recommended torque setting for the nut is 40 to 45 NM.
