[Non Corsa] Vectra track rods and ends

[Aaron]

Hi all.

Need to replace my track rods and ends as think inners are shot as front wheels wobble left to right. Drop links only 6month old so not doing them.

Wondering if this is all the bars i need



Also need to know where to get some good ones ie) brands as good as OEM if it matters and average price.

The Veccy drop links rattle but don't cause play laterally.

The best place for track rod ends or the rack rods is Autovaux or Vauxhall World Parts. If you contact Autovaux ring them rather than going off the website.

Ill see about a price then. Need springs too but might just get full aftermarket set of springs and shocks as this car probably due the lot at different times.

Later on that though. Get this done then four wheel alignment. Does it need doing again if i replace OEM front springs or only if i lower it on aftermarket (only about 30mm)

I'd do the track rods and springs at the same time and then get it aligned. Any work of that sort tends to result in the alignment being a bit out no matter how careful you are. I'd go for aftermarket springs as the OEM ones tend to snap too easily. I've had every original spring snap within 40k on Vauxhalls, then done over 100k on the replacements without any issue.

What aftermarket did you get?

Pi 30mm drop coilovers i think i was looking at. Same as tanktops but the stronger onew for heavier diesel engine. They are 240 ish tho...

As said before mate the PI are thicker and uprated so they don't snap. As Taurus says GM ones don't do so well dads snapped three years ago had it replaced (Both front's) then did around 35,000 and went in last year snapped again so I ordered some uprated ones for his he sold the car and we told new owner he has since said no issue's

Will have to save for few months then do it all at once. Its new turbo money tho lol
