Let's Talk About Tie Rods... Man

Andy, for the amount of time you spend on the track, I would consider it, but if they are still tight, you will be alright just replacing boots. However, by the time you release the BJ from the knuckle, you have already done the hardest part and removing it completely from there is pretty simple.

Just wanted to note...the thread is different for the inner TRs between powered and manual racks, so be aware. Even if you converted your PS to manual (looped the hoses etc.) The true manual steering racks use a coarse thread, the powered racks a finer thead.
