Inner track rod & bulb questions.

Hi,
Was told by my "tyre fitter", or whatever the title is for these lads, that the van needs a new "inner track rod" is this different than an inner tie rod? Or are they the same thing? Just want to be sure when ordering the part!

unrelated question:
anybody ever use bulbs like this http://www.ebay.ie/itm/270514867920?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1690wt_1102 these don't require as special kit and I was led to belive they would be brighter than normal bulbs (UP to 40%) if anything i find them dimmer! Anybody had simlar experience

Inner track rod, inner tie rod, track rod and tie rod are all the same thing.


Cheap bulbs like those in the link are never going to be any good.

Good quality upgrades like osram nightbreakers etc are much better.

Its no wonder people are confused about which parts are which...That link you posted has a picture of a track rod and its listed as a track rod end:rolleyes:

The part in the picture is what you need alright.

You'd get one in a local motorfactors here for around the same price.
