Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC5868G track rod end and what does it do?
The RTC5868G track rod end is the ball-jointed link between the track rod and steering arm on the Land Rover Series 2 and 3 (1974-1984). It transfers steering input to the road wheel and has a left-hand thread with a fully threaded shank.
Why does this track rod end have a left-hand thread?
The RTC5868G has a left-hand thread because each end of the track rod uses an opposite thread direction. That lets you adjust front wheel tracking by turning the rod without removing the joints. Confirm the thread direction on the joint you're replacing before ordering.
How many track rod ends are needed for the job?
This left-hand thread track rod end covers one position on the steering linkage. Track rod ends are typically renewed in pairs on the Series 2 and 3 to keep wear even, so many owners fit the matching right-hand thread end at the same time.
What are the signs a track rod end needs replacing?
A track rod end typically fails when the ball joint wears or the boot splits, letting grease escape and water in. You'll usually feel steering play, knocking over bumps, or see uneven tyre wear. Replace a worn joint on the Series 2 or 3 to keep the steering safe.
