**** you, you idiot.
Friend called and said truck failed state safety inspection because both
outer tie rod ends had too much play. Wanted to know if I could help.
That's all I know (yet.) I haven't physically seen the truck (yet.)
I did look up f*rd tie rod ends for a 2007, not sure if that is the
exact year or not, but I know it's a powerstroke 4wd. The F*rd ends
were ludicrously expensive. She asked if there was a quality
replacement that wasn't bargain basement, but was more reasonably priced
than Ford. My response 10 years ago would have been "Moog or TRW" but I
would like to know if that is still true today, as I've heard
information to the contrary.
That is what I know at this time. If more information is required to
properly answer the question, let me know what exact information is
needed and I will ask for it. If you are just going to snipe, troll,
and act like an antisocial retard, **** you and **** off.
