so mot is due in april and the advisories are all front track rod ends have slight wear.

my questions are

would this affect the car whilst driving, sometimes, not every time, if i go over a pot hole or sometimes a cats eye the car shifts a little, or feels like it the car dosnt acactually skid or move just sways. does this sound like the trck rod ends?

Yes. Get TRW kits for both inner and outer rod ends and replace everything in one go. These come with rubber boots, plastic washers/stops and grease. It is a simple job.

Fantastic, where do I get them from? More to the point where is the best place to get them from?

It was some time ago that I bought them from the local GSF shop. You have to lalk to them, because the catalogue does not list the manufacturer and the content of the kit. I guess, another option is ebay.
