DIY Car Servicing - happy or dont touch?

Thats why I use it in preparation of replacing rusty bolts etc.

My mistake, that wasn’t what I read from what you wrote.

Next time you can DIY and clean up stuff as much as you like.

Just count the turns as you remove the track rod ends and refit the new ones the same number of turns. Tighten up and either string track or take it to a tyre shop for tracking.

Track rod ends are a garage job for me as I want the alignment done right and I don't want to be faffing about with string alignment and I like it blob on :)

In the nice weather I will have the wheels off and clean and prep the area anyway so all not lost.

Never mind Dave.
