Q-Ball Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I need new tie rods bad now. I am hearing this somewhat loud creek when I turn left now. Is that due to the tie rods? Im not low on fluid as Dave and I topped it off about a month ago. Any idea's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 were you not told when you went to get your alignment that the tie rod ends were shot? I'm pretty sure you did cause I seem to remember telling you it would take us no time to fix. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Ball Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 by replacing the tie out tie rods, would that fix the ball joints? Or is the ball joints somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 ball joint are riveted to the bottom of the strut, and connect to the lower control arms. they are the pivot point between the struts and lower control arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 So I take thats a no? lol. Well I want some good outer tie rods anyways... What are good brands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Moog is probably the best brand. I actually have an extra Moog balljoint, but no bolts with it so I bought a cheap one that came with bolts. I'll bring my grinder over, it's helped me do 2 sets of balljoints. They could have bolts, cause on both my 88 and my 95 they were already replaced once (bolted on) when I replaced them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
