Probably being a plum but what is the correct name for the threaded bar that is used to extend the track rods on a lowered car? After fitting the dropped spindles I have a lot of toe in and winding the track rods out leaves very little thread engaged. Thanks,] P.  |

What size thread do you need Paul? According to the Internet:- 5/8-18 Inch Do you have something suitable Ian? Now I have found the right search term it would appear that the only place that I can get them from is the States... Grrrr.... P, |

is there any reason why you can't use replacement track rods of the length needed ? I'm sure such must be available and better route than extenders.

pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111263506942&alt=web bosh a 5/8 thread down something of that nature, should be an easy task for someone with a good lathe. some good ht screws with the heads lopped off will do for the male section, bit of stud lock, job done. as your track rods to meet the ends they will need shortening to make soace for the extensions.
