TRACK CONTROL ARM

A black track control arm with a bush and a metal clip component

Checking

Check that the track control arm and the bush are not distorted; if this not the case, replace the complete track control arm.

REACTION ROD

A reaction rod being worked on under the vehicle chassis with a tool inserted into the mounting

Removing-refitting

When removing the reaction rod, make a note of the number of shims between the stop at the end of the rod and the flexible mounting to avoid altering the caster angle when refitting.
