Critical – Verify Your VIN Before Ordering

Inner tie rods are VIN- and rack-specific. VIN cut-off 9A999999 applies for Discovery 3; Discovery 4 applies from VIN AA000001. Confirm your rack is the M16 variant before ordering — the M20 inner rod is not interchangeable . Provide your VIN – our team confirms exact compatibility before dispatch.

💡 Installation Tip: Professional installation recommended. Count the turns when removing the outer track rod end to keep tracking close, but a full wheel alignment is required after fitting . The inner tie rod threads into the rack — use a suitable tool to unscrew it from the rack end .
