Track Rod ends?

peterux 2 Feb 2010, 10:45pm
Mine are fine for now, but does anyone know what the BMW Sportster track rod ends are taken from?

Mine were supplied by Marlin in 2003 (yikes doesn't time fly!) and I guess the rubber bits don't last for ever.

Anyone got a part number?

thanks

They are Ford parts. I wrote down the part numbers that were on the bags.

SSR0232 and SSR0231

I googled the numbers and they seem to be vaild.

That makes sense, as the steering racks are modified ford parts as well. I seem to remember it's a Sierra or P100 part.

And just for a reference (should anyone need to replace them :noidea:) the Nylock nuts that go on the top of the TRE taper pin are M10 1.00mm fine thread nuts.
