| Quote: | Heya. I have another question about my POS.
My front tires seem to be wearing weird, so I jack up the front end to
check the bearings. They are fine but DAM! there is like a 1/4 to 3/8
inches of play where the shaft(rod?) goes into the rack (rack and pinion
steering?). Each tire has this play and the loosness is at the R & P.
Question: Do I need a new one or can I rebuild this one? A new one is
like 80-150, and the rebuild is around 50.
Thanks!

inner tie rod, most are replaceable; loosen the boot, make sure it isnt
leaking PS fluid before you buy the replacements |
