My son's r170 has been having tracking and steering problems for a while. It's also worn the inner edges off a set of front tyres.
He decided to replace the track rod/idler rod assembly, the idler arm bearing, and the steering damper.
Took a couple of hours to get it all stripped down tonight. When we compared the new one, that he picked up from G and S today, to the original one, it turned out to be the wrong shape!!
So now, instead of having a nice new steering setup, the car's still up on axle stands!!!
