Re: steering rod creaking noise
But you can do it by unscrewing the track rod at the hub end though i presume?

Re: steering rod creaking noise
HI
I'm finally going to get round to replacing the track rod boots on the left and right hand side of the car, as well as replacing the left side track-rod. However, I'm confused about the tool I need to get the track rods off- some kind of hex? can anyone give me more information, photos etc?
Cheers
Larry
