hello mate, did your car pull either right for left before u changed the track rod end??? Is it an easy job to replace a track rod end? Price??
Tracking as said is a 10minute job, the garage near me tests your tracking for free, then if it needs alignment (which 9times out of 10 it does,lol) costs £35
cheers

car was fine, but there was excessive play in the track rod end, the part cost £11 and took 10 mins to fit, you can do it without a ball joint seperator, (but i would advise you get one), take wheel off, un-do nut on rod end, seperate the joint, fit new part, tighten nut.
car passed m.o.t but was pullin to the left
