I attempted to change the tie rod ball joints on my GT this weekend and,
after finally getting the ball joints off, found that the replacement joints
weren't the correct size, i.e., the female receptor of the new ball joint
was larger than the tie rod. I looked around and found the words
"CAMGEARS LTD" and a couple of numbers (18993 & 18998) stamped
on parts of the steering components near the tie rods. Has my steering
rack been replaced? If so, what would have been possible
circumstances that would have warranted replacement? If not, why
didn't the replacement ball joints fit?
Please help!
Thanks - Gary Davis
