I need to replace the outer tie rod and the idler arm. I'm going to pick up Moog brand for both. I'm going to either rent or buy A pitman arm puller, tie rod end puller and a ball joint puller.

Any advice to ticks not in the FSM that I should know about?

 

Nope, pretty easy to do with the right tools, and you look like you are getting them. Should be an easy job.

 

So I was looking at the parts I was told to replace and I don't see anything wrong, bent or broken. It is all coved in oil & grease . I'm not a great mechanic but we'll see what happens on Saturday.

I was able to borrow all the tools from Autozone, just had to put down a deposit.

 

be sure to get a propper alignment once you're done, otherwise it sounds like you've got it covered

 

I'm going to have an alignment done at Big O when i am done. They are also doing the Saftey Inspection.
