after nearly finishing the TF from the accident damage, we found that the front RH tie rod is badly damage, a quick look on Rimmer bros site but can't find them, do I have to buy a whole steering rack for this? Thanks

FM :rolleyes:

you mean the rods sticking out the end of the steering rack that the track rod ends bolt to ??, if so then yes, you need another rack.

I have seen complete new TF racks advertised on E-Bay for around 70GBP.

.. and notice the old MGF rack is different to the latest for MG TF.

anyway, check the very special EPC for either steering rack and track rod end

or the other front suspension parts.
