I think the play in a fairways steering is all part of its charm.
When going from lock to lock,hearing and feeling all those joints take up the slack reminds me of a long train pulling away from a station in the days of steam..





Except the steam train was quieter. quicker and far less smoke!

My mistake. I should have said tie rod ends and not tie rods. They can also be called track rod ends. Either way, I posted a picture of it. Give it what ever name you want. I would like to call them something else for the amount of money and time I've spend on them #-o

Your right , they seem to be pretty crap no matter where you buy them from...............................Lucky to get 10K from them without the rubbers splitting, bit of a pain as the tracking needs to be checked each time :sad:
