pass side tire moves front back

[DJuanHouston]

raised off ground no movement top to bottom but a little bit fornt to bacl, not into steering wheel,

drivers side tight both

is that the tie rod & prolly bushings? or loose or is that a sign that its going to be something more?


if i remember correct top to bottom would be bearings

Almost definitely related to the tie rod ends or possibly the inner tie rod. Both can be replaced with common hand tools, but the inner tie rod is difficult.

so you think its the actual ti rod needs to be replaced or is it bushings that are worn out? (ends have the bushing I guess?)

its seems like my struts are letting the front plop down hard also but it doesnt continue to move like the old days when shocks were worn out and it

ok its actual about 1/8" of in out on the tie rod under the rubber boot

looking at exploded parts views I cant tell whats under there, what would be loose?

is the only fix to replace it? I see they say cut the boot off when replace but maybe one of the hurricane pot holes knocked something in there I can fix w/o the whole rod

anyone?

The tie rod ends are cheap. Don't mess with trying to repair it. Just remove the nut, drive the end out of the spindle, take a couple wrenches and spin off the end.. do the reverse to replace.

didnt know if it was another end under the rubber boot the same as the outer end

cant find a microfische of the SVT showing the tie rod parts I keep finding the reg focus and it doesnt show them

guess its time to track down Steve for prices
