[DMCForum] Re: Tie rod ends(was Stuborn wheel) is complete

["Josh Porter" <joshp1986@xxxxxxxxx>]

I got the tie rods ends replaced with in a matter of minutes after 
Mike told me that they are left hand and right hand thread. I didn't 
know that yesturday so now I have two brand new tie rod ends on my 
car and now I am trying to get the sway bar back on. I know but the 
cobwebs keep getting in my eyes so I am taking a lunch break.

I'm so close to getting her on the road I can see the blue lights 
now :)
