Sure, in the West this is a good argument. But in poor countries you have to factor in two points to mull over. One, parts are generally three times more expensive here ( i just got a quote for a tie rod today from Porsche in lebanon for 300 bucks !). And secondly, the repair parts are always more easily available in poor countries as that's what most people want to do.
If i had been wiser and taken more time to aligne the rod on the slave cylinder, the entire job would have taken around 5 - 6 hours i think. But i take your point.
My tips posting was more for people living in poor countries where shade tree mechanics are the only real option.
