All the same on bx's should be obtainable from a motor factor no prob, plenty on ebay but go for the better quality if you can cheap ones are crap should be £10-15 a side.

Re: Valver track rod ball joints
Track rod ends....some factors can't get them anymore. They're getting thin on the ground. I got mine from GSF, but go careful and measure them against the old ones - some are over size in length, meaning you can't set the tracking properly.

Re: Valver track rod ball joints
Had this prob with them being about 1/2 inch too long, these were Unipart items, i found the internal threads were not deep enough and ended up with too much toe in both sides even after winding them all the way home. Got some more from Barry at Bourne which did the job nicely think they were Q&H.
