OK, I'm going ahead with the tie rod + control arm replacement project.

First, I'm going to replace the front tie rod assemblies - left and right are $120 together from the dealership. Centre is $80 (All prices canadian). What do you guys think - should I do just left and right for now, because that's what the mech recommended.

I guess I also need self locking hex nuts which are supposed to be replaced.

And a ball joint separator and tie rod separator (are they the same thing?)


Do you guys think I should do the entire assemblies or just the tie rod ends?







REAR (THRUST) CONTROL ARMS:

This is pretty simple in terms of parts - two arms are 60 each from the dealer, repair kit is 13, sleeves are 5 each, voila. No special tools required, as far as I know...............Riiight?????





Any answers before Friday noon would be amazing, as that's when I have to order parts.
