What is the difference between PAS and manual track rod ends (apart from the part number ;D).

Is the thread different or perhaps the taper which fits into the steering arm?

Thanks

P/S one's are bigger.

A very good question!! They fit 180 degrees to each other in the standard cars, and I think that the thread on the PAS ones are slightly larger, and the physical size is a little bigger. However, I can also recall someone mentioning that a car had one of each on it! Perhaps the relative position of the taper to the threaded section is different. Anyone enlighten us further?

Impossible to fit manual track rod ends to pas rack thread size on pas much larger but that is the only difference taper size the same

Thanks.

Should add that the taper is .1 mm larger on the manual version and the PAS one is longer by 5 mm.

I'm going for a lie down now, that took some serious Googling!
