Uprated/Heavy Duty tie rods?

[lukeanderson31]

Does anyone know of any uprated or heavy duty tie rods for the mk1 fabia?

[Dark_Hero]

Only aware of the meyle heavy duty drop links. Not sure if they do other hd parts

[lukeanderson31]

tie rods for the steering?  I've never needed to fit uprated ones

[lukeanderson31]

Yeahh, i was curious if someone did some. Ive changed mine every year of owning due to play developing. Tried oem, and a couple of ecp brands

Track rods? Jeez man, what are you DOING to them, I can't tell you the last time I had to change one, are you sure your car is straight?

If you're going through them that quick I'd suggest putting a new/another rack on and see if that cures it!! You shouldn't be putting new track rods or track rod ends on yearly

[lukeanderson31]

Ive thought that but i am doing like 40k yearly so just assumed im wearing them out

I do the same mileage a year and mine are fine. When I was testing a lot of vauxhall a used to get play in the track rods but never seen it on the vag stuff. I'd go for a rack and I think that will stop you eating through them

[lukeanderson31]

Balls. I'll look into that then

So as per my original question, there isnt such a thing? Lol

I really don't understand how a new rack would stop him eating through trackrods - the trackrods on a new rack will be exactly the same. Never heard of anyone eating through trackrods anyway - seems very odd!
