Another tie rod replacement... next week getting the outer tie rod replaced on the passenger side (and the stab link)... after that, the entire linkage system will have been replaced... Past 18 months: both inner, one outer (driver side) and stab link... have been replaced, not to mention the top plates on the front struts....

Gotta love my Cat 98... lol

My idler arm is out. Dealer wants ~$135. Found on eBay for $100 $5 shipping. How difficult is it to replace it myself? Struts will be coming sometime later this year

Buy them from eBaymotors.de

It will only cost ~$20 plus shipping.
