Track Rod End - Cross Rod Eye is the ball-jointed eye end of the steering cross rod, in the steering linkage.

It screws into the end of the cross rod tube and locates in the tapered bore of the steering arm on the swivel housing, transmitting steering movement across the axle. Because the shank is threaded, the effective rod length is adjustable - front wheel tracking must be checked and reset after fitting. This is the right-hand-drive linkage specification.

The ball joint is a wearing part. A split or perished boot lets water and grit into the joint, and the resulting play shows up as steering wander, knocking over rough ground and uneven tyre wear.

Frequently asked questions

What is the NRC8231 track rod end used for?
The NRC8231 track rod end is the cross rod eye end that connects the steering track rod to the swivel arm on the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006), right-hand drive only. It sets the steering geometry and lets the joint pivot as the suspension moves. Part number NRC8231.
Where does this track rod end fit?
This cross rod eye end fits on the steering track rod linkage of the Defender front axle, on the right-hand-drive layout. It's the eye-type end that clamps into the rod. It's part of the steering system, so wheel alignment must be reset after fitting.
How do I know a track rod end needs replacing?
A worn track rod end typically shows as steering play, knocking, and a split or perished boot letting grease out. On the Defender it's an MOT check point. Because it's a steering safety part, replace it as soon as free play or a torn boot appears.
Does this track rod end fit all Defenders?
This track rod end fits right-hand-drive Defenders up to VIN (V)LA939975. From VIN (V)MA939976 it's superseded by ANR2858, so check your VIN before ordering. It doesn't fit left-hand-drive vehicles. Confirm the RHD cross rod eye is what your steering uses.
