You mention you had the wheels balanced, was this done with them still on the vehicle as I had this done today and it solved the wobble.

track rod ends, tracking and wheel balancing. track rod ends seem to suffer from lifts as it puts the rack out of line.

Anybody know the blueprint numbers for the RH and LH rod ends?

Prices I have seen online for rod ends seem to vary quite a bit ranging from <£10 to >£90 each!!!

Hi Adam, you balance wheels on the car using a balance machine that spins the wheel whilst the car is jacked up,it's a machine that has it's own motor which spins a horizontal wheel, this is pushed up against your tyre which spins the wheel replecating a speed of around 70 mph, most high street tyre fitting bays have these units.
Hope that helps.
