Powerflex makes something they call "steering arm to rack bushing".
The tie rod and TRE I bought from Febi. Here's the link:

That's for the audi c4 though. I can't seem to find a version for the coupe/s2.

If you are lucky, after much penetrating oil, heat and swearing, you can get the old parts off and they look this shi**y

I tried to protect them with heating pipe insulation but it fouls in the arch. Then I had a very cunning idea and used a section of an old mountain bike inner tube to sit over the new adjuster and a couple of tie wraps.....job done. The lads who did the wheel alignment were very thankful.

John,

Where did you get the washers and nuts from?
I'm liking the idea of a bit of inner tube to protect the threads and make them last longer.

I PM'd him and asked, he said he had some left but I don't know how many

nuts and clamp rings

Still trying to source the nuts and clamp rings for the adjusters.
Emailed Kev (Bambridge) but he hasn't replied yet.
Does anyone know where these can be bought?
