VP is due for rego check in 4 weeks or so. Went in for wheel align and front end check expecting some bad news but the word is that she only needs driver's side rack end and tie-rod replaced prior to alignment. Estimate of $300 (without checking parts cost) including alignment. I am thinking I might do the rack end and tie-rod myself as I will save on parts and the labour cost (estimate 1 hour = $100). I will also need a new centre muffler, tyres, and possibly engine mounts (I have these already but not looking forward to putting them in) so wanting to save a bit where I can.
Any tricks to replacing rack end and tie-rod? I've looked on-line at parts and am wary of the cheapest. Any suggestions?
