A shop said that they couldnt do a front alignment on my 2000 GS cause there was too much play and i needed to replace the right and left inner sockets. He said if he tried then there would be too much toe. I tried to look up the parts to buy but noone knows what these are. Perhaps they are called something else? Anyone know? Thx ahead!

inner socket? Perhaps inner tie rods?

Pls seriously i need some help...if a shop says it cant be done unless i pick up this part and i dont know what it is then im screwed..he mentioned that the parts were about $68 each side oem from lexus and that the play involved causes tracking (the car shifting when moving along grooves in the road..ex highway) and also vibration when breaking. I assume because of the inability to tighten the part..

Inner tie rod is the part...where can i find the best price oem replacement? besides ebay..

fast and easy.... best way to check it if your inner or outter tie rods are bad is to jack up your front and tires off the ground... basically just have your left and right hand on the tire position at 9 & 3 oclock and wiggle back and forth and if theres play you will kno that its bad.. GL bro
