my car needs new tires and of course an alignment.. i was out driving last night, i dont drive the car around alot because of the rear suspension but.. i took it out last night just to diagnose it and.. the car pulls hard to the right and you can hear alot of noise coming from the rear end and im guessing that it is the TC rods.. i am going to replace them this weekend giving the go ahead for it..

Re: TC rods? (JDMEnthused)
TC rods are typically referred to as Tension Control Rods, which are on the front of the vehicle.
Your car pulling hard to the right could be caused by very bad alignment or a tire radial pull - you won't know until you get that stuff fixed.
Do you have any idea why it pulls to the right? accident, drifting, lots of track time, suspension upgrade, etc?
The rear are toe rods & traction rods, which "usually" don't affect pulling to left & right as much as front caster & camber all around.
Most likely all your bushings are blown to hell, our cars are around 10-16 years old, things give up. What you can replace will depend on your budget and what you will be doing.
Noise coming from the rear end could also be lots of things... maybe bad subframe bushings, where you can get some $40 subframe spacers and fix that - could be something else tho - you'd have to be A LOT more descriptive about what is currently done to your car and when these noises happen.
Check out the guys in my sig (you can talk to them on aim), or search for alignment and rear end noise on this forum.

yeah.. i mean i know my bushings are blown but the car has never been in a wreck, i ran a carfax and the records are clean and the suspension is stock.. it does need new tires and an alignment though. eh, the tires are quite bald too.
i guess i will wait until i get my new tires and alignment and then decide what needs to be done.
