Yesterday I replace both track rod ends on my car as they were worn, together with both lower arms. Around 2 hours / side, most spent freeing the track rod ends and adjusters. Absolutlely smooth as silk now, you can adjust the tracking by finger pressure.
So why do almost all garages shake their heads and say things along the lines of "sorry mate - fixed price based on an hours work" when I need the tracking set? Has the ability to charge on time spent actually doing the job gone? Don't they realise this is a quick few quid and then they can fit in another perhaps higher paid job as opposed to me walking away and them getting nothing.
Sheesssh.............
