 Subject: tie rod end
IP: Logged
Message:
saturday, i put finished buying my set of new tires and i wanted to get the alignment done on my 2000 quad cab v6 2wd. the mechanic doing the alignment came and brought me into the shop to show me what he found. he said the suprisingly, my balljoints were fine but he showed me that my drivers side inner tie rod end link had about 1/4" of play in it. they gave me an estimate of $200 to do the work on it. now i am a do-it-myselfer and i have changed tie rod ends on my jeep cj7 before. is this something that i could do myself and then get the alignment done immediately, or should i just let them do it?

I'm sure you can do it.
What is bad, the inner or outer tie rods???
The outer are easy.
For the inner, I replaced the whole rack & pinion.
It comes with the inner tie rods.
I also cleaned and flushed the power steering and switced to Amsoil ATF.

Not to jack this thread or anything.. but if anyone can answer this
as well... what about a 99 inner tie rod ends? It a worm and sector
steering right? How would replacing the inner rid ends be different
from the rack n pinion style steering?
