I must apologise, I find I put out a piece of misinformation regarding track rod ends earlier in this correspondence. I said that the 407s to 410s used 5 RH and one LH track rod ends. This is incorrect, the parts list lists 5 LH and one RH, the latter on the centre rod.
The Amsteer part numbers are AM13LH and AM13RH respectively.
But just to confuse matters, at one point, before I discovered Amsteer, BCS were unable to supply me with a LH track rod end and insisted that the entire near side track rod be replaced. I surmise, but cannot readily check, that this used RH ends, so there MAY be other cars out there where the 5 to 1 ratio no longer applies.
Amsteers AM182LH and AM182RH, which they list for the 411, are presumably specific to the centre rod on the 411 and possibly the later cars.
