Inner Tie rod

Post by 98buicklesabre »

Went to get a state inspection finally cleared all my emission codes but failed because of inner tie rod. Any where i can find a write on this for our cars, also any suggestions on brand i should get or does it even matter when comes to this. I usually replace everything with delco but ive spent enough on this car

i just went to pepboys and bought their lifetime inner tierod..since mine is bad as well, but i was just planning on bringing it to the stealership to have them change it since you need special tools to change the inner and you "should" get an alignment after

The dealership probably won't install a non-OEM part on your car.
