Re: Shin Bone Connected to Thigh Bone... ALL

Warren, I am sure that the tie rod end was at one time corroded, so said clod heated it up to align the toe-in. BUT he did not apply any antiseize to either the tie rod end threads or the holding nut, so the whole thing seized up solid after the alignment.

Fortunately, the CamGear rack is nifty: you can replace the inner tie rod end (I have one on order at NAPA for about $35) and throw away the old seized-up amalgamation of inner rod, nut and outer tie rod end. You don't need a new rack at all: just replace the inner rod sticking out from the boot. Then add a new tie rod end and you're back in business.

I just don't want to have to pull the rack to do this.
