inner track rod end question
inner track rod end question
when i fitted my outer track rod ends i noticed that i could move the inner ones roughly just less than 1/4 of a turn by hand each way,this cant be right surely.
i think the knocking noise is being caused by this as it is only when i turn it makes a noise and when i brake and acclerate not all the time but prob 80% of it,and its the only thing that has that side lateral and forward and back movement

Unless the lock plate has loosened and the actual screw in part is loose. hold the wheel in the straight ahead position and LIGHTLY rock steering wheel, you will see and feel the movement if loose in the joint, You would need to pull the rack boot off that end to actually see,
you should be able to turn them a full 360deg as well as up and down if they are not connected to the outer end, they are a spherical ball joint and they need to move in all directions.
