was just wandering, took my 99 ex in for an oil change and they said the left outer tie rod end was etremely loose, which I noticed it wandering real bad when the wind was blowing on the highway. Would it be the drivers side or passenger side? I am hoping it was the drivers side cause that is the one I just replaced, the garage that does my oil wanted 74.00 for the part(left outer tie rod end) their total estimate was $222.67 does that seem right? When I replaced it, I counted the number of turns to get the old one off and put the new one back on the same number, was this correct?
 






left/right

left and right are given as if the driver is in the seat, so yes the left side is the drivers side.
 






thank god. lol was hoping I was right, but would rather check and make sure than assume. Thank you very much
