Had a bit of an encounter with the kerb in the ice yesterday and it's bent the n/side track rod.
Now how the f@*k does it come out! I've managed(eventually!) to get the track rod end out...damn those taper fits...but at the other end, the steering rack end there's a ball and socket joint.
Anyone know how to get this apart? I want to see if it's possible to straighten it slightly then reset the tracking, failing that replace it. I rang fiat, and the track rod is available as a spare part(@ £45!) so it must come out somehow? Does the track rod come with this joint already installed and i have to fit it at the rack?
HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLP!
