I was about to tackle it today, but I'm missing one critical thing... the special tie rod wrench. It's locked safely in a tool box in Florida. There aren't any local shops that have the wrench... even if I could afford a $1200 New rack. Oh well... future project.

The alignment shop swears it's safe and recommends fixing it later. Now I know that the wheels won't fall off I feel safe driving it.

Working on the SSI install now.
sorry to hear, she is an old gal... but she'll be newer when you get done with her.
