Hey Boss,

 

so my car had the 100point inspection done to it y'day and came back with the following results:

 

* Clutch fluid needs bleeding

* Rear lower control arm inner bush cracked

* L/H front inner tie rod minor play

* Rocker cover gaskets and tube seals leaking 

 

what's the urgency to fix all those things? how much would it cost me and what's the best way to go about fixing these points. 

 

Thanks.

none of those things are B4 specific - 'cept maybe the gaskets, though I think they're probably common across EJ20x

You certainly don't want to be getting them off a wreck.

New gaskets, new bushes, new tie rod, bleed the clutch

Cheers guys, i was thinking the same but just kept my options open...

 

Where is the best place i can source these parts from and how much would the damage be roughly do you reckon?

100 point check at Pedders?

100 point check at Pedders?

 

Nuh, it was elsewhere... what's wrong with Pedders though? LOL

[BE4ORE]

hahaha... i didn't go there because of what you said above wouldn't trust them!!!

 

So any rough idea how much damage would this make to the wallet so i can get my pockets ready lol... FML!

I'll call some places now and see what they say. The more I save the better towards the coilovers

I have some. Still on the car but I'll check them out and if they are good you can have them for $50 + post.

That's if you want them.

That would be awesome Josh, but would it be good idea in the long run?

And what is an inner tie rod?

Tie rods are the bits joining your steering rack to each hub.

 

They have a screw in the middle to adjust their length (for wheel alignment), hence they come apart and have an 'inner' and 'outer' bit.

 

Each end has a ball joint on it to allow articulation. They get slop in them - the problem at inner ends can often be addressed by just tightening up the nut on the ball joint (sometimes it loosens itself if the locking mechanism slips).  That's still a bit of a bitch of a job, as you have to get the boot off and muck around while having power steering fluid drip on you. and no room to work.

 

 

part 11 is the outer end (plus castle nut and washer to connect to the hub), the inner end isn't labelled, but it sits under the rubber boot (7) when assembled (right pic shows the whole rack assembled)

here you go.  $10 a pop.
