PS - to make SURE it's the inner tie rod ends, turn the wheel most of the way first one side then the other and have someone slightly jog the wheel back and forth while you feel for play inside the rubber boot - squeeze it fairly hard and you can feel if there is play between the inner rod end and the rack. Just watch your fingers! Also check your ball joints - they can also give you lots of play and wander in your steering.
Clue on the tie rod ends - the steering wheel will often shimmy back & forth rapidly just enough to feel it while you're at road speed if they're loose. I've even just tightened my old loose ones and they've lasted another 20+k miles - done it on 3 diff cars. |
