Each one of these is like $35.99 at advance auto. I also got some general purpose lube as a filler item to get me to $75, then used a 30 off coupon so this job with tax is only about $48 to do.
If none of you know, i'll fill you in as i use these coupons almost every week for the past year ordering online and then choosing in store pickup. I easily saved over a grand doing this and i love it.
Search online for advance auto promo codes, you'll find a couple. The ones i always use are 10 off 30, 20 of 50, 30 off 75, and 40 off 100 ( the last one might not be around anymore ) but the others are usually always available.
SO if you didn't know, now you do, it saves me a TON of cash, and im happy to share it with you guys on here.
Anyways onto the job - it really only takes about an hour to do, and most of that time is removing the wheels and putting them back on. Other than that, take off the cotter pin, remove nut, you will need to hit the balljoint end with a hammer to pop it out, probably a couple of times as i did, now put it back in the hole, and i used an adjustable craftsman wrench to hold the bolt, and then i used a pipe wrench on the 2 flat part side of the tie rod, hit that with a rubber mallet 1-2 times and then spin it off, replace with new one, screw in zerk fittings, retorque the nut, insert cotter pin, put your wheels back on and done!. I used a tape measure to measure from the nut to the middle of the balljoint part of the tierod to get the new ones back on as close as possible.
