On changing the front discs and pads on my Audi (1996 A6 Avant 2.5TDi) I noticed a split track rod end bush/gaiter, which they hadn't obviously spotted at the MOT (I'm guessing this would be a failure). I know the tracking's out on it as well, so I'm going to take it to a fast-fit type place to get the tracking done on it, and get them to fit a new track rod end at the same time. Obviously they're going to want to supply the track-rod end, which they'll probably order in from a local motor factor. I'm quite keen to stick to OEM parts for everything, but how much difference in quality is there going to be between a pattern track rod end and an OEM one. Am I being a bit too fussy?
