Inner Tie Rods

Replaced my inner and outer tie rods that had 140k miles because i had to constantly take my maxima in for allignment because the toe was always off spec and my steering wheel was always off center a few days after an allignment. After changing them out my max steers a lot better and is stiffer. All in all well worth changing them out.

I still need to do my inners. Outers made a nice difference but w/ larger wheels, the shimmy sort returns, albeit not as noticeable. Makes me want to do it tomorrow, owait, gotta work tomorrow FTMFL!

I had replaced the outers a couple months ago and made an improvement, but was still having allignment issues. When I changed the inners I felt a bigger difference. They werent in bad condition, but just loose enough to cause the toe to be out of adjustment.
