Our 6 cyl Carawagon had a transmission tie rod fitted, but when I rebuilt it I did not refit it thinking it probably was not required. However, I found the engine and gearbox would move about quite noticeably when driving and also when applying the handbrake. I refitted the tie-rod and no more problems. The only other Land Rover I have had with a tie rod fitted was a Lightweight.

Cheers Jim and everyone else for the replies to this, its much appreciated.

I have ordered the bits I need from Blanchards which only amount to just over £20.00 (as I don't need the brackets) so I think I'll fit it in the first instance and see how I get on. I figured that its not much from a cost perspective and it will be easy to remove should I need to in the future.
