Rear tie rod and bolt help please

Post by Human Joist » Fri May 07, 2021 10:26 pm

As per the title. My rear tie rod inner bolt is seized as they used the stupid multispline that the garage slipped and destroyed when they tried to track it up, so I’m in the process of cutting it out to replace. I’ve decided to go polly for the inner and a couple of other bits but need to get a new bolt. Power flex do the camber bolts but I’d need to know the size. Length width etc. Anyone able to help ?

It’s the rather rusty one in the middle here. And yes I already have a load of dinatrol ready to coat it when it’s done 🤣

Item 5 here http://www.oemepc.com/audi/part_single/ ... 885/lang/e

I bought some from TPS last year the picture is misleading as it's shown as a hex head but it is a spline drive type.

That’s the one. Was wondering if I can buy easily online just as the powerflex one. TPS it is then

No reason you couldn't replace it with a standard bolt. I use accu.co.uk for fasteners.

/Never mind, hadn't noticed it was a special bolt.

Yeah it’s that wank multispline head for the concentric adjustment on tracking. Have ordered polly for the inner bush and will then look to swap to other polly as and when they fail rather than replace functioning bushes for the sake of it
