Your nearside track rod and balljoint are worn to excess? What‘s does that mean? It is dangerous?
Yeah if he's not lying (50/50 chance) then it can be dangerous. The track rod as he calls it, bless his heart, is most likely the tie rod that connects the two front wheels together to keep them from going different directions. The ball joints are what holds the actual wheel on, in layman's terms of course. What could happen? Worst case, no steering or a wheel falling off, although you should have plenty of time. It'll get really bad before it falls apart, theoretically.
Did he mean to say, you Tie Rod and Ball Joint has Excessive wear?? This means the parts in question are worn out, no longer functioning properly and need replacement.
Track rod is a term used in the UK for what Americans call the tie rod. Nearside in the UK right side in America (UK vehicles are right-hand drive) and offside in the UK left side in America. The American translation of nearside track rod and balljoint is right side tie rod and balljoint. The British bloke is telling you that the dadgum right side tie rod end and balljoint is worn out.
