I was hoping to NOT spend ~$140 on tie rods, at least the drag link they installed ($65) should be OK. They were actually MOOG ends too... damn it. NPD's getting ANOTHER order...
I was thinking as I was reading this post, a grease gun might be pretty rare in some dealership shops. I suspect there are front line mechanics out there nowadays who have never owned or used a grease gun. Think about it, since the 80s, grease fittings have become more scarce on new vehicles every year. There's guys out there working in shops who were born in the mid 90s.

Crazy thought ain't it ?
