Had my 245 at a trusted local shop yesterday.

They told me the inner & outter tie rods need to be replaced, particularly driver side inner.

The car wants to wonder somewhat on the freeway (keep in mind I-5 has severe ruts from rain in the Seattle area), also side winds.

How difficult a job are tie rods? I have done a lot of work including timing belt, engine seals etc so am handy with the tools.

He also said the pass side engine mount is crushed. I did that several years ago also. This time I will do it WITH AN OIL CHANGE, Hoodini I am not.

Thanks

Mike
