Don't be stupid Will, you can't see anything wrong with it, just because you changed one on your Corsa. That's the way it's designed.

oh right makes sense now and that trackrod end just looks a bit muddy, didnt change mine till the rubber bit was shredded and covered in greasy'ness, and even then it didn't have much play.

Nice conclusion there. 
Things get dirty. Oh dear.
Ni point in changing something thats not bust, a new one will get muddy, i'll forever be changing things if they need to be clean.

Got them ages ago, February IIRC, pics weren't recent - they were often coming up for around £50 a set though, mine came up as auction and not BIN, so got them cheap.
Also used Tigra in the search as they are the same disc...
