[Shotimes] Wheel Bearings & Tie Rods

[Steve Weinrich]

Outer TREs are $20 bucks retail from AutoZone.  It takes about 15 minutes
per side to replace them.  If you do it yourself, check the inner tie rods
while you have it apart.  A bad outer TRE will easily mask a bad inner tie
rod.

Wheel bearing and hub kits are around $90 from NAPA.  You will need access
to a shop press to replace the hubs and bearings.  Some NAPA stores also
have a small machine shop and may be able to do this, otherwise, you will
need to pay someone for them to perform the pressing in and out.  Figure on
up to a half hour of labor on their part.
