TIE rod

TIE rod
I have a 1996 4runner SR5. I was recently informed by toyota that i need my tie rod replaced. They quoted me 400 to do the job. I also found out the the tie rod itself was only 180. Does anyone know how to replace a tie rod and how difficult it is. I would imagine that it isnt too bad.

you can chrck it, but its hard to describe what to look for... first determine what side the play is from... then look at the tireods and see which one moves without the assembly moving

If it isn't so bad you can clearly see it, get someone to turn the wheel back and forth, while pressing your finger into the rubber boot on each tie rod end. You can feel play that you sometimes can't see. A good one feels tight, and bad one has a clunk or wiggle to it. You'll know it when you feel it. Get a puller for about 10 bucks and a tie rod end for $20-$30 (from the auto parts store, not the dealer) and replace it yourself. The trick is getting it adjusted properly when you're done.
