Semi Urgent - Tie Rod ends - should I be able to move them?

spotdog14 · November 17, 2008

What does it mean when I can move by hand from side to side the tie rod ends that are attached to the spindle? They move pretty much without much force and move from side to side until they hit on either side to stop them...

Well to answer my problem this is the cause, I have had several threads in the 02 thread about my mysterious problem and it seems to be this...

From what I gather it is not save to drive this vehicle, what all should I do?

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't drive it. Buy two new tie rod ends and have an allignment done.

wait, do you mean turn them up and down?

I dont think they would move freely even if their shot, your tires are always putting pressure inwards, maybe up and down play (not turning them)

Get someone to check for you to make sure
