So i had my car laid up replacing the front end



got all this together, threw some ceramics in, droped it, finished torqueing, and looked at the tire as i put it back on. It was hitting the tie rod end. so im thinking, ****.... do i need a rack?

then la de da... after some tooling around i pull out the half shaft and the bearing housing for the cv joint is destroyed. bearings and peices were falling out as i was removing it. so i just orderd the whole axle, new boots and all and should be done with it.

ran about 100$ for it.

so to any one out there who finds there tire rather close to the tie rod ( tilted in towards the engine), i would recomend checking you cv.

lesson learned and passed on.

 

Does it drive a lot better now?

 

with the whole front end kit done it drove much better, steering was so much tighter.

and i thought it was amazing before...
