Hi everyone. Well after replacing my lower ball joints, outer tie rods, suspension bushings (front and rear) and my tranny mount, I took the car to get aligned today. Well my mechanic said my inner tie rods are in terrible shape and the car won't hold alignment.

After a 400 dollar quote, I will be doing these as well myself. Is there anything to know when doing this job? I've seen some good tutorials on GS and RXs on this site. It looks pretty straightforward.

Anything ELSE I should be replacing??

 

I replaced both inner and outer due to rust. One of the only things that rusted on my car.

 

This thread has useful tips:

If you replaced the other parts listed, the inner a are a piece of cake.

 

Thanks all. They don't look super hard. I love/hate my car right now

 

You might get a second opinion on the alignment unless you trust the mechanic implicitly.
