Front Tire Rods - Replacement Help
So hit a nasty pot hole, had to replace tire, jab was taken out of the tire, got it replaced and when there, they checked out my suspension and said both right and left inner tie rods on the front were really worn and need to be replaced.
How much does something like this cost if I bring it to a mechanic?
Can this be a DIY fix? If so how easy/hard? How much?
ANY info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you can do the outers, you should be able to do the inners. They say to use a pipe wrench to turn the inners. People have stated on this site they have done this many times with a pipe wrench with out damaging the rack.
If the outers have not been replaced, suggest you do them at the same time since it is easiest to remove and install as a pair.
Buy parts on line (IPD, FCPGroton etc) to save money. In some instances it has actually been cheaper to buy over the counter through 128 than the local aftermarket suppliers.
