I was in the tire shop today and thy said I need tie rods both sides.
I am going to try this myself. What is a good brand of rods or does it matter?
is there anything else while I am in there to look at or replace?

Spicer = best.

2nd best would probably be Moog, although I'd try to find the Spicer stuff first (try your local independent stores (or online) for Spicer, the big chain conglomerates rarely seem to carry them for some reason).

Hmm I have the same issue and was reading on here you have to have a special tool to hold them with. I was thinking a pipe wrench or big visegrips. I have a 98 4x4.
