I also just got done replacing my passenger tie rod, drag link, and steering shock.
I originally replaced my steering shock at 186K, but it was completely loose and worn at 214K. I think my part failed before it's time.
All that is left is a front end alignment, just need to find a good shop that I can trust, I might go to the dealership...
When I had everything disconnected, I tried to replace the idler are bushings, but my catalytic converter (1 of 2) is sitting right above the large idler arm bolt.
