Try to follow up quickly. Bought the car about 11 monthes ago, about 2 monthes after I bought it, it started to "slip-bang" into gear--it woukld rev up, then drop real hard into gear, and it was getting worse fast--I almost cried. Put in a zzp shift kit, and it smoothed out greatly, now only drops into gear hard rarely, but not nearly as bad as it was getting before the shift kit. From the tiny I know about auto-trans, if I took it to a shop and they said, torque converter and/or differential, I would believe them.
Yes, I have tried it w/ restored stock height, and have m&t mnt spacers. feels the same. And feels like it is in right side. even rotated tires to make sure--feels like a tire is out of balance, except it only vibrates on acceloration.
So, I heard enough times "inner tie rod" that I figured I would change inner and outer, hell, I have changed everything else, at this point, figured it would nt hurt.
But I'M STUCK AND NEED HELP. PLEASE.
Bought duralast inner and outer tie rods, rented removal tool and test fitted as scottydoggs suggested--autozone tried to rent a tool that didn't fit, so ended up at advanceauto--rented OEM 27185, the 1-7/16" part fits duralast tie rod.
Got outter tie rod and boot off, & tool
