thanks folks I will take it to a mechanic around here in MD. Part of the reason I want to change the shocks in the front is that I can feel every pothole in the road especially on the right front tire side. However I will have the mechanic check the tie rod end.
You are right, am going through tires every 10K miles... and tires are not cheap.
Any suggestion as to which mechanic to go to in MD near Germantown?
Thanks folks
