WHAT? Not trying to be rude but try taking a minute and write it clearly. That way people will understand what you are trying to say and can respond more accurately.

He's doing his breaks, and wants to know how to check the tie rod ends, and the wheel bearings. Don't see how that was hard to figure out.

 

Anyhow, to check the tie rod ends, you'll jack the car up, and with the wheel still bolted on properly, you'll grab it on the sides (9 o clock and 3 o clock) and shake it, if you feel any play, that's probably a tie rod end - for the bearing you'll grab at about 1 and 7 and shake it, again feeling for any play, and for the ball joint you'll grab it at 12 and 6 and shake it -- also feeling for any play.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, I've seen many a post by you that was near unreadable. Watch it.
