5th gen 4ws Rear Tie rods and Track rod ends

Post by Swazy » Wed Nov 27, 2013 2:57 pm

hi ive just joined and I need help!! My 5th gen is up for MOT and I can't seem to find rear tie rods or track rod end anywhere other than from Honda which will cost me £360... I don't really want to spend that much if I can avoid it. so im just wondering if anyone knows anywhere where I can buy them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Hang on, if they're similar to the 4th gen ones you can use Vectra B track rod ends!

Lings says they are the same part on both the 4th and 5th gens.
