    That sucks dude. I had an event with a curb a couple weeks ago. Did you take pics? Surprised no one has asked for pics yet.

    Sorry to hear about that, at least you and the body of the car are good. For the inner tie rod, if you replace it instead of the whole rack, this is the tool I recommend: Inner Tie Rod Removal Set I replaced the inner tie rod on my GTP using vise-grips and alot of muscle. After that I got the tool and used it on the Buick and it was so many times easier. You do have to grind one of the adapters a little bigger to fit our cars. Also be sure to loosen the crush lock on the inner tie rod. If you have 200k miles like I do on the Regal, you may decide it's time to just replace the whole rack. Plus, it may be damage as well from the crash. Advance Auto with using their coupon codes was the cheapest I found for the steering rack. $135 shipped. Think was a little more for the GTP.
