Inner Tie Rods
2011 Maxima SV
Bought new tires and went to Firestone for my lifetime alignment (great investment). They said my front passenger inner tie rods need replacing and quoted me $500 for parts and labor.
My question is about the level of difficulty of this job. RockAuto has the parts for under $40 so I would like to attempt myself.
Does anyone have a link to a write-up/instructional video?
Any tips or other things I should address at the same time?
Thanks in advance for ant advice.

I'm shocked to see that there are tons of unanswered threads on the org... I've been gone for a while and come back to this lol
I would not get inner tierods other than OEM... I've swapped far too many aftermarket lifetime warranty crap tierods. Go to harbor freight, get an inner tie rod too, an electric impact, and do it yourself. If you're mechanically inclined, it's not too bad. I've never done a 7th gen but it should all be relatively similar. YouTube is a great source for how to videos..
good luck, 3 months later lol
