Jake Tompkins What should I be looking to pay to install new inner tie rods, parts and labor?

- Deleted Member It's not an impossible job for a DIY, though it's certainly not a beginner's job. Tie rods are rather important... The local auto parts retailer should have the rental tools you'll need to get the job done (although I've never used them, I can do it other... more

- Jake Tompkins Yea, I was planning on renting the special tools needed, and I'm going to have a few friends help me out who are better with this sorta stuff then I am haha. I just went to Advanced Auto Parts and it looks like for the inners and outers on both sides it'... more

- Deleted Member UroTuning.com. $40 for a complete tie rod shaft. Don't buy them from AAP. That's a rip. It sounds like you've already had someone check, but just for your own sake jack up both sides of car to remove tension on the drive line and wobble the tire. If you ... more

in the topic Corvette Sawblades, $300 in the forum Discussion and Announcements

Not bad as far as curb rash goes and no cracks, also most of the clearcoat has already been removed and I'll throw in a can of aircraft stripper so you can get the little bit thats left off and get em ready to polish. Comes with all four center caps, the tires and weights have been removed. I'll be moving in a few weeks and dont want to drag these along with me so I'm only asking $300.

in the topic mk4 exhaust, replace cat or straight pipe? in the forum Technical

Just as an update the smell was some burning JB Weld and I have welded a bung into the test pipe and re-installed the o2 sensor. No more smell, no more rattle, and no CEL!
