    to be safe, id change the lca, the inner and outer tie rods on that side, a shot hard enough to break the inner rod cant be good for the outer rod.

    the new lca comes with all new parts, new bushings and a new ball joint, you pop the old ball joint first, then take the 2 nuts and bolts off the mounts, and install a new one.

    heres a good how to n the lca, they are fairly easy to do. http://www.grandprixforums.net/how-c...rms-66203.html

    Here same ones I put in mine I think most guys here will agree moogs are the best and this price would be hard to beat putting it in is pretty straight forward and easy as long as you don't do like me and decide 101 degree weather is a great time to redo them (of course I did sweat off a lot of weight) These are also grease-able

    So I successfully uninstalled the bent LCA and inner and outter tie rod, yet I have a few questions for anyone who is willing to help. I am able to turn my right fromt wheel when my car is lifted off the ground. When i turn the right wheel, my left axel spins at the same time. Is this normal?

    Second question: Since i had to replace my whole inner and outter tie rod. How many rotations should i spin my outter tie rod before I tighten the mut?

    no idea on the tire spinning, if its in park it may spin like that. not sure.

    you need to go get an alignment to get it right where it belongs.

    what i would do is match up the old rod to the new one, for the lock bolt, you can get it close, but it wont be perfect. got for the alignment asap.
