Replace Tie Rods Too?

[David325is]

Since my left ball joint is shot, I am about to replace my control arms and bushings. I've seen others replace their tie rods during this time too. I am not sure if the tie rods are worn out but was wondering if I should just go ahead and do them too.

Also. What are your opinions on powerflex control arm bushings?

Couldn't hurt to but not needed.

The only money you'll save by doing them now is what it costs for a W/A. And of course a bit of time.

As for powerflex CABs alot of us in NZ are using them with no problems or complaints. Good value for money, cost 3 (mini GB) of us roughly $70US a pair shipped. Also easy to install, no press required.

My AKG Urethane CABs were under $50 (IIRC) shipped.

Such a huge difference. IMHO, 1st priority after shocks/struts.
