robertwheeler Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hi If you read anything in the main off topic area you may have seen that Im trying to hold my honda together until I get my check and can go shopping for a slightly Used subaru. I have been been keeping an eye out on a few noises. There was one I couldnt quite figure out. Mostly my fault because I diddnt get it sooner... But the Noise that I thought might have been a wheel bearing on the way out turned out to be the outter tie rod end on the driver side. 33$ and this car is taking my money and my flesh a bit at a time. At any rate... near as I can tell there wasnt any grease on either of the outer tie rod ends... 8 oil chances and no grease. Damm! The dammage was unreal. At first glance the rod seemed a bit loose but ok. I knew it was shot because it failed under load. I grasped the base of the shaft and pushed it over and under a bit of pressure it moved nearly 1/8 of an inch. No wonder the car was getting so hard to steer. But this turned out to be one of the best 10 min repairs I have ever done Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
