UGHHHH all help is greatly appreciated

i was just using a torch "meps" then ran outta gas =[ so i only got it a little hot and used a hammer to bend it back some it bent back a little bit but no more gas so at school on monday im going to throw her on the alignment rack and try and bent that rod... tie rod correct? isnt it a pain in the ass to replace and are they pricey?? no more badnews can hurt let me know. =[

also yes the sterring wheel is about id say 25 - 4 degree angle which is better then it was before but still SUCKs!!

umm i didn't understand anything you said in the original message but yeah that would be your inner tie rod. You might as well replace it, bending it back isn't the best solution, it will never be perfectly straight. Go to rockauto.com and get a new acdelco inner tie rods, on another note you might as well do both inner tie rods and new tie rod ends(get Moogs, all the others are garbage). The job is fairly straight foward, its not the end of the world...just did mine and my car handles like a brand new car, no slop.

how much did they run you?

dude they are cheaper than you think, $34 each inner tie rods, about $50 each for the outers. Imo don't just get new inner and try to use the old outer, they are old and impossible to get off, i had to cut mine with a hack saw. If you have questions on installing them let me know, since i just did mine a few days ago.

RockAuto Parts Catalog





^inner



^outer

they make these parts to "give" such as an accident of some sort, so you don't bend something really expensive such as your rack&pinion

this is what i need correct i dont care if its cheap aslong as it works ughhh i have no money =[ http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SET-4...Q5fAccessories

nah im going to autozone on monday n stuff n try to collect money to replace the inner and outter tie rod on that 1 side the other side i will have to do when i get moeny ughhh =[ 26 for the inner tie rod 25 for the outter tie rod. my classmate can get me 10% off he works there.

probably but really i wouldn't buy those dude. From experience i first got cheap tie rod ends and the boots broke when i was putting them in. Moogs and acdelco ftw guaranteed to fit right.

I believe awful zone sells duralast brand for those parts

im goin with duralast cuz thats what my wallet can afford..... valucraft is CRAP thats low grade at autozone.com the inner tie rods for value craft weight 1.6 LBS with duralasts exact same part wieghts 2.8 LBS... duralast is better and stronger. correct?
