RoadWarrior Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 That is a good list . One way to look at it is, 13k plus is still cheaper than a new one plus you know what you have. A hot rod Lincoln , lol. Tie rods are fairly easy to replace . Just remember to smack that spindle with a hammer on the outside where the tie rod goes in and that tie rod will pop right out. Count your turns when you unscrew it and put the new one back the same. It will keep your toe close to where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron36 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I'm a master technician and I can't believe what people pay to have there cars worked on , it's 140 bucks just to walk in our shop , I feel the worst for people who have check engine lights on and pay other shops because there cheaper to fix them and they end up going to the dealer to get it fixed right it sucks but for all u guys out there who have heard taking your car to the dealer is bad is all a lie the dealer can back all there repairs and has all the right tools to diagnose your car and fix it right it may cost more up front but it's worth it in the long run, just like systems you get what u pay for buy hifonics get hifonics sound buy name brand and sound quiality is so different it all makes me laugh but still can't believe people pay thousands of dollars to get brakes done. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron36 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Much love for rocking.that.eclipse. I have to pay for all my tools have been a tech for over 20 years and have over money in tools with box and people don't think about that when they bring there cars in I love cars and techs get hit hard but it's all apart of the industry . I have to make money to pay for my tools . I take pride in my work and that's where dealers pay techs more for what they know and how they work I would love to open my own shop but need about a million to get it started right and that scares the shit out of me. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I work on my own, so it only costs me parts and time. It really really really helps to research your make and model as well as finding forums for your make and models to find the most common issues they have, as an example i had a 95 dodge neon, it has a few issues but one in particular was an engine harness issue where the wires would melt and fuse together causing all kinds of weird electrical problems, so it really helps to know your vehicle. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
