It may be worth asking Euro if there is a choice of two, if not that make but with a different company. Often one catalogue will only list one part for a given vehicle , but a different companies catalogue can be more accurate.
I had this with ABS sensors on a 07 Skoda Scout 4x4 one part listed , but on a 09 VW Tiguan 4x4 basically the same running gear it listed two and solved the problem.
It can be a change over year or a car or van version giving one a heavy duty part and not the other.
Of course a lot depends on how helpful the parts store man is.

Hi thanks for reply.
Ive tried. I think the wheel hub has had a bush installed and different track rod installed. Nightmare city

That sounds very strange, and possible not very safe.
If that turns out to be the case, any chance of a good second hub to go back to original?

Found the perfect part. Took some research. It's listed for a fiat bumpy. Strange that it didn't come up on a number plate search at euro car parts /gsf

Hi Andrew I live in France and have a 2004 Scudo 2.0 JTD. Gosh I Am having exactly the same issue 2 lots of verified compatible track rod ends delivered neither pair fit. The old ones designation tells me its of a VW ?????? So can you give me some more information on the ones you were able to fit so I can see if i can get them here in France. FYI it’s seems the ones i have had delivered, that the cone is to small ??
