Lads as above stated im looking for a second hand in reasonable condition passanger side tracking rod arm for my 95L16V corrado, the current one has seased up and unable to open, and i want to replace it, hopefully somebody out there has one

They are cheap new, only about 25 quid afaik.

Failing that I should have one.

 

[benkenobi]

ahh nice one i didnt think that they would be that cheap new cheers geo
i had better get the chasie number out this evening

 

[Geo]

In fact I think I might have a new one, if I do you can have it for €20.

That €25 is a gsf price not main dealer btw, I'm sure they'd bend you over properly for one

Sorry for hijacking but on a similar note, just wondering should there be only one adjustable track rod arm on a Mk2 Gti?

Will you put that in the boot of your car and bring it with you to Dundalk George,
cheers

Dont understand why you dont buy a new one and replace both of them. This is what connects your steering. Each to their own I suppose.

the bolts have seased up on the passanger side and when i was getting the tracking done on the car it took
the lads ages move the nut to get the tracking lined up so i thought that i would just replace the arm so that it wouldnt be so hard to track the car again if needed, mabey i will replace both arms as you suggested, cheers for the advice

Common problem as in many cases these aren't moved for years. Use plenty of lube when you're putting the new one's on.

I think the older ones had only one adjustable arm but as far as I know the later ones had 2 adjustable.

Any of them that would have been replaced over the years would probably have been replaced with an adjustable one anyway.

@Brian I think I have a pair of new ones, I'll bring them to Dundalk if I am going.
