About a week ago, my front right (passenger side) cv axle boot tore. While i was already rebuilding the cv axle, i figured i'd replace the hub-bearing, and lower control arm.
while i was in there, i also noticed that the outer tie rods had the boots rotting out (stress cracks, and obviously deflated due to the grease drying out/evaporating - this goes for BOTH sides.) so tonight i ordered both (left & right) MOOG Brand tie rods, in addition to sway-bar links. stay tuned for videos!

this is a relatively simply install; yet i have read about people spending $1200 at the dealership for this job. i hope to save some of you folks money.
