freeagent Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 need to put in an order to one of the 'addocks... i'm after some ball joints for the trackrod (behind axle) for my 1996 disco. both ends are the same, as it has an adjuster in the rod. i think i need RTC5869 Ball joint RH. but don't want to order the wrong one as i have 6 'left handed' ones in the workshop!! cheers m@tt.

western Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Yep, you think correct FOR FUTURE REF. RTC5869 =RH RTC5870 = LH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8CAMEL Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Yep, you think correct FOR FUTURE REF. RTC5869 =RH RTC5870 = LH problem is which way round is it fitted. the RH/LH refers to the thread not the end of the trackrod as the trackrod itself can be fitted either way round.

freeagent Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 thanks guys. the trackrod on a disco can only be fitted one way around as it has the damper bracket welded to it... i'll write those part numbers down somewhere safe. cheers m@tt.
