I have bought 2 from eurocarparts 17.00 each side (they do have one at 11 each side) but a fellow member advice is to buy cheap and buy twice
For changing them there are videos on YouTube on how to do it but afterwards get the tracking done

Save the money and buy a Haynes. They are very easy todo, if you have the equipment to jack it up on axel stands etc.

i followed this guide, i found it was easier to loosen the bolt on the end of the tracking rod first then undo the one attached to the wheel hub

no it was just rust. mine took about half an hour of heating with a blowtorch to get it off and even then it was a struggle.
