Now I am aggravated as I noticed a split in the outer tie rod boot and the one on the passenger side is totally split. WTH? These things aren't a year old.
Turn the wheel full left and full right , Check clearance again , Sorry , I'm in the middle of hand sanding my firewall .

I hate hand sanding ! For the 3rd time ... rain tomorrow need to prime it again tonite .
