[Shotimes] Wheel Bearings & Tie Rods

[Ron Childs]

As far as the outer tie-rod ends go, they are easy to replace yourself and should run about $20 - $25 each at your local parts store. Replacements will come with grease fittings and should be much better than the stock rubber filled ones.
Wheel bearings will usually make noise if they are bad. Do you get a low humming that varies with the speed of the car?

guy said I needed to replace the wheel bearings and outer tie rods. The
wheel did have a lot of play. He's quoting me something like $175 for the
bearing kit and $80 for both tie rods, not to mention labor. I'm going to
check SHONUT, etc., but does anybody have any other suggestions?
