Has anyone here ever had troubles with a tie rod? what was the symptoms and how did you fix it? i cant find any information searching
thanks

 

Yeah I have to replace both of mine(outer tie rod end). Jack up the car and grab the wheels at 9 and 3 o'clock. shake it in and out. If it moves, then they need to be replaced. Majestic Honda has them for $40.64 each side.

 

pretty much, if your steering is a little loose the the ball joints on the ends of your tie rods are going bad. they naturally tend to go bad after a while and will get loose. they are fairly easy to replace and most local auto parts stores can get them for i think around $20 a tie rod end.

 

Also be sure to get an alignment asap after installing them.

 

is it under the boot and between the nut underneath?

 

what you guys are saying sounds right i can twist the tie rod end easily and i thought it was the boot because it is all ripped and the honda dealer said it wouldnt be the boot because all the boot does it keep dust out but i hope you guys are right $20-40 bucks isnt bad... should i replace both of them?

 

Try Majestic Honda. They are just about the same price you'd pay at Autozone or Pepboys. And it's OEM. I just bought mine a few days ago. If the boot is torn, you'll want to replace that NOW, before your rack turns to crap. I waited too long and now I need a new one. They cost $250+ from Autozone or Pepboys and twice that much from Honda. The cheapest place to get those would be the classifieds or junkyard. I would expect to pay about $50 or so for a used one.

 

If they're the originals, replace both of them. $30 a piece from AutoZone, and get an alignment afterwards (you have to!).

 

if you have a o`reilly`sin town try therte. i just replaced mine last weekend and the guy gave me his discount on both , 26 bucks a piece. they are from moog. has a grease fitting on top and are alot more beefier than the stocks

 

so i replaced both outer tie rod ends (right side was 30 bucks and the left side was 40 who knows?) from pepboys and got an alignment and still crap....

so after replacing rotors and pads, tie rod ends, hubs, hub bearings, and axles, and a crap load of money, my car drives smoother than a baby's az

now it want to lower it a little more because when i did the alignment driverside was -3.3 degrees camber and passenger -2.5. If i put a camber kit i think it will make my car even higher also i cant lower it too much because it will probably rub fender wells .... any input??

 

do you have the site for moog? nevermind......found one. get em at napa. cheap too. u say they're stronger?

 

what can be wrong with my car???? when i make a right hand turn my car shakes so bad....my tie rob boots are torn and i dunno if the tie rod is suppose to twist back and fourth but mine does.
