Hi all,

I failed my safety inspection today ('98 V70R) because of a 'loose tie rod' passenger side, is what they said, too much play. Could someone clue me in to what that probably refers to, i.e., is it the inner tie rod or probably the ball joint? Is there a way for me to tell?

I've never touched these in the V70R, but in my old Saab, I replaced all my ball joints because the rubber was splitting.

Thanks in advance. I just don't really trust that they know anything, it was a Emissions express sort of place, not a true mechanic.

Thanks,
