MR 1200 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've just renewed the RH side track rod end on a 1200 counting the number of threads to ensure the new TRE went back the same way the old one was removed. After driving the car the steering wheel doesn't self center turning the wheel to the left whilst driving round a bend etc unlike the opposite side, which does self center.The lower trunnions are fine and have no play in them, are filled with gear oil and the tyres are pumped up to the correct pressures. Anyone point me in the right direction as to the route of the problem?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyf Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Did the steering self centre ok before?If it did, it could be the new Track Rod end is a slightly different length to the old one?Measure from the centre of the ball joint part to the end of the threaded section on both Track Rod Ends and see if they are the same ;)?RegardsGary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
