steering rod quiery

[abyss]

On the pulsar are both track rod ends perfectly straight as i have taken the gaitor off the steering rack to check why my steering is way out and it seams that the passenger side rods is bent quite badly what i mean it is it meant to be straight.

It's probably had a hard knock on that side at some point then, check the wishbone isn't bent too.

pranged the car a few weeks ago and changed the wishbone as it was fucked and today i took the steering gaitor off and the rod was bent that's why i was asking because to drive straight my steering wheel had to be turned at an angle to drive straight. Cheers for the reply's lads.

If you do need a new rod make sure you get the proper GTIR one as its thicker than all other sunny ones think its 16mm thread so only this will fit.
