Noticed some play in the nearside track rod end on my 97 Astravan so have fitted a new one. I counted the number of turns anticlockwise to remove the old one so as not to throw out the tracking but stupid me got distracted and think I'm one rotation wrong with the new one. However, I'm not sure if the new tie-rod needs 1 turn clockwise or 1 anticlockwise. The steering wheel was previously spot on dead level when driving in the straight ahead position but now it's pointing slightly to the right so does that indicate it needs an extra rotation in or out?
