Supposedly this has gone on my right hand front wheel. 
 
Not costing much to fix, but I have to wait till monday and really need my car inbetween now and then. 
 
Is it safe to drive with a nakered track rod end?? Not on about hammering it, just sensible driving. 
 
Cheers, 
Sean.

Ah so its alright to drive then. 
 
I get some feed back through my accelerator at times, and get a hollow knocking sound over bumps and a grinding sound round fast corners. 
 
I will just take my time I think.

Nah, definatly not scrapping, checked that out. 
 
Doesn't judder when braking, just get a judder in my accelerator when I go over bumps.
