Tie Rod End Replacement, 1998 v70

[MrAl]

Hello again,

Steve:
That's an interesting way to look at it. I'll have to think about that some more. Lucky i dont have to go that far usually, just around town normally.

sleddriver:
Yeah i didnt mean suspension work was unnecessary, just the roof racks because when i think about it i really dont have to carry anything big very often, and i also do not want to take a chance on roof leaks.
I wouldnt say it was cheap, but yeah it wasnt in perfect condition either. $2000 then another 600 for parts and repairs. This next repair will be another 600 or so so im getting up over $3000 for total cost of ownership up to this point. Total mileage since the purchase was about 600 miles, so that's an average of 5 dollars per mile so far, but only had it for about a year and three months now, so that's an average of about $6.67 per day. Based on repairs only, it's about 2 dollars per mile so far, and about 2.67 dollars per day.
The garage guy assured me that the other side was ok, and i did ask about that.
