luego viento track rod ends
Hi,
I am working on the steering of my Luego Viento V8 and would like to know the following.
The rack is a brand new (metric) Mk2 Escort rack, I am using steering rack extensions purchased from Rally Design, the front uprights are Cosworth
Sierra 2wd, which track rod ends should I use??
I have purchased a pair of RS2000 TRE thinking they might be stronger than standard Escort and the Morse taper seems to fit the taper in the arm of
the upright but until I investigate further I cannot be absolutely sure
Anyone have any thoughts or answers please
Alex

The Mk2 RS 2000 track rod end was hybrid metric and imperial it used a metric threads but the taper was imperial, this is because the RS Escorts
& Lotus Cortinas used struts that were hand downs originally from The Ford Corsair 2000e.
You can either use normal Cortina 3 to 5/Escort 2 parts or base model Sierra parts.
