thats a great offer but im really worried about stripping my tie rod ends again. i dont want them to be hammered out. last time it cost me a lot of money to have it fixed. just looking for a local shop so if anything goes wrong i can just bring it back and fix the problem.

Re: local shop to install coilovers?

what could happen if the tie rod separates from the coilover?
i guess thats really unlikely though since there is a pin thing there already

yeah, i think thats why they put that cotter pin there. so that the nut would not fall off all the way, which in turn would prevent the tie rod from fully seperating......
