bad inner tie rod

[Maverick]

That tie rod will probably be fine unless the throzzle rod is showing excessive wear. He needs to get his caliper and determine if the throzzle rod has less than 3000'ths of an inch clearance left on the main bushing bearing.

I spun the muffler bearing last week, as it turns out the excuberator needed replacing.

What a pain in the butt.

Park that new car, it wearing out.

'twerent that new...it's an 05, with 178k miles. dood's dumping too much money into it though..........

All three parts-

• The tie rod,
• the fuel injector
• and the muffler bearing

It's called preventive maintenance .. is what that tec was doing .. I did , do the same thing on my truck . I sure don't want a tie rod end to brake going down the road . Had it to happen to me on a 72 firebird and it's not a fun ride .

you misunderstand.......there was nothing wrong with this tie rod. it wasn't an end...it was the inner tie rod.

Actually, thanks to Caps advice on the side, I found out that the guy that works on my car is being totally honest.  I gotta replace the rear brake pads soon though.  I really hate working on brakes.

[Flench]

Oh i see CAP1 ..
Me too Dichotomy , the back brakes for sure ...

[Dadsguns]

nah, the steering reset switch is a piece of cake man...ever try replacing the ignition ratio modulator?

I had to replace my timing belt bearing axle lug once and that cost me a perdie penny.....

rear pads on the stang shouldn't be too hard........i can't remember off the top of my head, if they're press in or spin in calipers....press in.....back brakes done in 20 minutes. spin in, you need something to spin the piston in, and it'll take about 45 minutes.

[Dichotomy]

I think they're press in.  The only problem I have is the ex swiped my floor jack.  Ya ya I know I need to get a new one but keep in mind I'm so lazy I married a pregnant woman first and one with three kids the second go round.
