hi guys, can anyone help with a guide on replacing track rod ends

steering feels alittle loose, want to replace a dodgy cv joint and track rod ends.

afaik the rod ends have been on car for 90k so are overdue.

cv joint im okay with, done a few before, never done a track rod end.

parts i can source form vw spares jsut after fitting guide/advice

cheers

they arent difficult to do,just make sure you mark on the thread attaching the track road end to the drivetrain where it screws up to saving you time and effort working out if your tracking is straight.
never done a leon but my clio was 1 bolt holding it to stabiliser then undo the nut tightening the track rod end then unscrew the TRE.
