Track rod ends
Hello
My '02 S8 Final edition with the suspension destroying 20's needs new track rod ends. Anybody used anything other than originals that they can recommend? Audi are £35 per side for theirs. |

Duffy,
There are 2 Alternative track rod ends for the FE D2s. VAGCAT throws up a part number of 4B0419811H. Meyle list that part number as 116 020 8228/HD when you search their site by make model and year but don't cross reference it with the VAG part number. GSF car parts can supply Meyle. I have never used Meyle but Botang has and recomends them for his PF A8. Bilstein also do these components for our car but don't have a web presence with as great a granularity as Meyle. I can source these locally but do't know of any national chains of suppliers. Mike |

Thanks for the comprehensive answer on this one!
Euro do original VAG ones for £23 plus the VAt which is a bit more palateable, I'll contact GSF and see what the Meyle come in at though. Regards! |

I used Euro carparts ones, no issue. About £16-17 a side if I recall. Looked good qual and do the job - depends if you let non OEM stuff on the car or not! |

Did this today with the eurocarparts OEM ones at circa £50 for the pair.
Straightforward job and on checking the records the original ones lasted 118k, not a bad effort. The OEM ones are identical (As you'd expect I suppose) and came with new bolts etc. The car feels much better but it's needing tyres and will get tracked immediately thereafter! Thanks! |

small correction to my post - the euro ones subsequently fell apart - and needed replacing. Now using QH from another local parts place... not impressed with the Euro ones
