Tie rods.

[Dan Silburn]

Okay well I was told I cant get an alignment because I need new tie rods or something. When I had the vehicle looked over before I bought it it they said that it had play in the outer tie rods. So im guessing that I need to replace the Outer tie rods. Also should they be replace in a set or should I just do the one side with play

Thanks in advance

do em both, its not worth it, as you HAVE to get an alignment after you replace tie rod ends, and sure as shit, in 2 weeks the other side will go and then you will have to pay for another alignment.

The buddy at the counter couldnt find talon ones so I told him to get eclipses, Im guessing thats alright?. Also he asked if I needed front or rear tie rods, do I even have tie rods in the rear?

go to another parts place or go back when someone else is working.  These guys are really starting to piss me off...

Eclipse ones are right tho, but make sure you get all wheel drive ones if you have an all wheel drive car.  Also get the correct engine in the equation.  A 420a car might have different tie rods than a 4g63 car.
