Guest scubabike420 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I have a front end vibration and I believe I have found the source of the problem. When I grab the tie rod on driver's side I get some play on the inner end. I see a long boot on this end. What's under this and how hard/expensive is it to replace?

Guest scubabike420 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Is it normal for this clip to allow play in the tie rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 A little play, up and down, is not exactly optimal, but it's not dangerous and won't cause vibration. Play out and in, is someting to worry about, and since wheel direction control suffers, this could cause vibrations. Which way can the rod move?
