no point takeing them off thought as they are proper once and with pinch bar in there is no moveing from them so has to be something els that is to blame but only noticeing now they are changed and not banging

Track rod ends the right thread?

yea bud all proper parts and screw on properly and lock nuts tighten upto them . honeslty tried everything thats daft like that it will be something small that just not noticed changeing top mounths today if it solves it

Do you have to adjust it the same every time?

So does it say add 2mm toe one side every time and you move it more and more. So you're eventually going to run out of adjustment or what?

well yday we put the tracking shit on . and it was out by 3 mm . we did not adjust anything and i drove down road and back and then we put the gear back on and it was out 2 mm more .. now I'm unsure if its going back and forward with in that 5 mm range or its slowley comeing out but i use car daily so if was comeing out 2 mm after half mine it would of come out by now if you get me .. so i think its something allowing it to move over all of 5 mm .. we can adjust them to where meant to be and then go back to 3 mm out then 2 more when move again .. hard to explain tbh mate but wont run out of thread if thats what you mean .. least i hope not lol

I had this with my mk 2. Took the bottom arms back told them they were shite and poor quality, got the replaced... problem solved.

The ball joints are'nt different sizes you just fit them different ways around for 13" or 14"

Ball joint, left

-L- = left

-3- = 13'

Arrow with marking "L3" points forwards

Ball joint, right

Arrow with marking "R3" points forwards

-R- = right

-3- = 13'

Pay particular attention to installation position of ball joint!

Incorrect installation position will change the caster angle

Ball joint, left

-L- = left

-4- = 14'

Arrow with marking "L4" points forwards

The arrow on the illustration symbolises forwards

but this would not couse my tracking to alter its self would it ? sorry if been bit dumb just want to try work out whats what that's all .. like say i can get tracking done yet move a mile and its out 3 mm ? so this could be to do with this ball joint been wrong way on or something as such ?

^^

It should'nt cause the tracking to go out

heads done me thinks new car in order and strip mine for the bits for w.e i buy . and leave all the bottom arms and balls like that on the thing and scrap it .. lol

You're totally over reacting.

Why strip a car because you changed something and gained an issue.

Logic would say the changed part is at fault providing everything is as it was.

Some after market parts are shit. No matter how much they charge or how good people say they are.
