tierods???

[mrmcnotbuff]

so i was driving on the freeway about 80 and i heard this banging from the right front wheel of the car (i was also paying attention to the road and didnt hit anything). so i begin to slow down not really using the brakes just coasting and i pull over to the side of the road. i get out of the car and look underneth and nothing seems to be wrong.

i get back on the freeway and the car picks up the same way. but traffic begins to stop pretty fast so i used the brakes pretty hard. as i do this the car pulls to the right real hard. it was a strugle to keep the car in my own lane it was so bad.

i get the car home and i hear a bumping around as im driving down my dirt road driveway. and i stop the car. so i pull the tire off and look underneth and i can move the tie rod i beleve with my hand. and on the other side it doesnt move.

so im sorry for this being so long but my question is this. on both sides the ball joints are shot. what do i need to buy?

you say its moves right?? then you need an outer tie rod you might as well replace both theyll run you about 50-60 dollars each at your local autozone or advanced auto dont know what you have over where you live...then youll prob need a wheel alignment....i did

yep TIE ROD similar story with me just wheni get up in speed liek 80 or so the car would shake and bare left bad i was like o shit wtf is goin on. i changed my upper ball joint and it doesnt shake. but for inspection my tie rold was loose so i fixed that and the car responds way better.

so i just need the two outer tie rods not the inner ones

[mrmcnotbuff]

alright so i got the outer ones off and one of the inner ones moves around and the other one doesnt. so do i need to replace the inner tie rod? and how do u get that mother off.

buy the secret treasure map... its located inside of a book called "Haynes Repair Manual" and its 13 steps past the wiper blades at your local parts store...

[mrmcnotbuff]

i have a haynes manuel. it has how to take the outer one off but not the inner one. so if anyone could actualy answer my question that would be awsome.

You need a tool to pull it off that clamps on. But most people just get a new steering rack since everything is basically new.

when i bought my 90' it had a bad right tie rod, and it cost 50 bux plus labor and a wheel aligment total =160$.. not too bad but still, it rides shitty cuz i have snow tires on it, n e one who wants to donate tires/wheels send it here good luck with ur problem man!

[WaLLeYeMan]

you might as well get the inner and the outer tierods since it is a bitch to take the outer ones off the inner ones if they are as old as they are. My outer tierods wouldnt come off so I just bought brand new inner ones too but then I never got the chance to install them because my car got totalled. You can get them cheap on ebay, usualy both for the price of one.
