thanks Phil and Branko,
correct branko 14 x 1.5 (spoke to vin yesterday) unfortunatly standard metric pitch is 2mm so it is a metric fine pitch and i'm struggling to find a rod end replacment with this thread on it, i was going to try and sort out the bump steer before PI next weekend, may have to try to fix it another way
cheers guys
