SamC Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 This is a very well timed post! Anyone used any of the above and can vouch for their quality?Caterham have been out of stock for months and my car is waiting on them before I can rebuild...

JP Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 You could try Redline...but Chris told me that I got his last 2 in my order recently...sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamC Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Caterham reckon that they will have them at the end of the month, but that is only a few days before Premier Power put the engine back in and dyno it. once that's in I don't want it off the road for a moment!!Ill give Chris a shout but sounds like I'll be unlucky!

maitland Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Hi thanks for information ,but the part numbers listed are track rod ends not sure if correct .Thread on ball does not look long enough, have you used them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 QR1118S is the correct one for the upper ball joint, M16x1.0 thread into the upper wishbone.They are TRE's in their original use on FIAT / LADA group vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 They were/are track rod ends when used as OEM applications.EDITED: I was replying to post #7 not #8 . . . . . . Bloody useless software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 They are track rod ends ... bigger ones from other vehicles. You can buy from any motor factor. Nothing magical about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamC Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 As an update, I ordered the QH ones and am returning.They look functionally the same (shorter thread after the taper and longer into the wishbone) but are not the same external appearance - see photos. Im sure it won't bother some, but they aren't for me, so I'm going to wait until Caterham/Redline have the pukka QR1798s in, or until I absolutely need them to get the car running.
