Default suspension, quick answer?

Ok have a shitty *** ride, every bump in the road my car basically jumps into the other lane (ive almost hit another car plenty of times), and I have an outtertoe (wheels are like \ | right?) and tires that are half bald and half not b/c of this.

So ive decided on changing inner/outter ties, got some new dunlop sp's, and getting a 4-wheel alignment. Should this correct everything ? ? ?

if youre going to change the inner tie rod, especially the passenger side, dont forget the rack end bushing. ive found that this usually goes before the actual inner tie rod goes. but you have to take the inner tie rod off anyway to get to the rack end bushing.

but really, you should figure out what exactly needs replacing. go underneath your car and start shaking thing. feel for play.

once you have things replaced as needed, get your tires and then get an alignment asap.

is there a diff. between steering rack bushing vs. end bushing?

also will I have to take out the whole rack for the end bushing?

heres info on the rack end bushing.

ive found its best to just take out the whole rack than to replace the bushing or inner tie rod with it on the car, because of that damn lock washer and lack of space.
