These are our heavy duty greaseable track rod ends, mainly used by off-road customers due to their strength. However, have no disadvantage of being used on the road. The heavy duty track rod ends are stronger due to the larger ½ inch UNF thread on the tapered end with less of an undercut near the taper. Also, the main thread where it meets the ball joint body has no undercut, which makes them less likely to bend or break off with heavy off road impacts. A Nylock Nut is fitted on the tapered end, making it easier to check they are tight after off road use, it is important to check that the locking nuts are kept tight. Inside these track rod ends is a large nylon socket to cup the ball, which gives smoother steering movement, especially for road use, however on impacts, they can distort the nylon cup. Please note these are not painted and come with the original rubber boot fitted. This is to keep the cost down, they will require greasing on fitment.
Fitment Guide:- Smear plenty of grease on all threads to stop them from seizing up in the steering bars, also these track rod ends will require painting if you don’t want them to rust.
Land Rover recommended torque setting for the nyloc nut is 40 to 45 NM.
