How do I check my Tie Rods?
 

I have a sneeking suspicion my tie rods are gone.... well.... not really a sneeking, more or less a VIOLENT steering wheel shake whenever I take a slight left bend at around 50mph....??
Anyone got any idea's?

Anyone?

Does it make a clicking noise when you turn the steering wheel?

Ok Im ASE certified suspension and steering.. :cool:

Raise the car up .

Try to not have pressure on the lower arms and have both sides up at one time..


Keep the steering wheel unlocked,

Grab the tire at the 3 and 9 o clock position

Shake the wheel side to side it would left to right..

Do you feel or see the tie rod move more than yoru really moving it?

You will feel play and see it ..

Most rack and pinions set up the inner tie rods go bad.BUT the outters are know to go bad also.

If you ave any questions just aim me ..

Ohh I didnt see you got a bad shake at 50 ..

Does it go away after 50ish?

It could be otu of round/balance tires.

Most tire shops give out free front end inspections and tire checks,if your nto sure..take your time and have someone else do it ..cause somethign that looks ok to you ..might really be damaged..
