Steering Track Rods

Steering track rod ends fitted.  IVA covers are required for the lock nuts on the track rod ends - these have to be fitted early in the assembly process.  The track rod end ball joint mounts into the front hub from below:
I checked for fouling of steering components during the full range of travel and the rubber boots just caught the lower wishbones on full lock.  I made 2 shims from steel and mounted them between the steering rack and the chassis, raising the rack by about 4mm and clearing the problem.
