had installed a $6 o2 sensor fouler last week and been enjoying no check engine light and better gas mileage since then. Now when i do headers next week may have to buy another zzp o2 extension to make this keep working for the rear.

Polished it all up, took it out for a short cruise.

I had a WS6 that was very persistent, well from a 40 roll got walked, couple blocks up I caught him at the light halfway through the intersection he hits it again, so did I and after a rough feeling 1st gear drop I got a fender ahead and he didn't pull.

That 1st gear slam has me nervous of my trans dieing.

It's hard to tell from the pic which way the bushings are facing but the pointed ends go into the sway bar and LCA.

**Russosaur** · 03-15-2014

I thought so.

Normally the ends with raised flats meet inside the hole on those bushings. The way they are in the pic, each one needs to flip over. Can barely see one flat end by your thumb. That side is always facing away from the washer and towards the bar or arm.

I found that bad tie rod ends are most noticeable in highway crosswinds. New ones make a big difference. If you count threads and set them up just like the old ones, you may keep the alignment close enough where you can continue to drive it and do other susp work then get an alignment just once at the end.

Today, I'm spending a little time with the purple car for once. Haven't driven it much this year.

**02NavyBlue** · 03-15-2014

I don't count threads anymore as the new part may not have the exact same amount of threads, in the same spot compared to the joint. I use a tape measure and measure from a place on the inner tie rod such as where the boot ends, to the Zerk fitting (or where one would be) and put the new one the same distance.
