I didn't get my 94 for what I'd consider cheap. I see lots of guys who seem to have gotten better deals than me. Oh well.

Well, I took it in today and had a 4 wheel alignment done. The drive to the shop was great. No wiggle in the wheel (after I put on both outer tie rod ends). Thee shop checked everything, and found no...

I just set an appointment with the front end shop to do a diagnostic tomorrow. I'd rather do that than throw money at parts. I can replace any of the parts, I just want to know which ones need...

Well, put the tie rod end on, and it did not cure the movement. It is also not the inner tie rod end. It appears that the shaft where it goes into the steering gear is sloppy. I am assuming this...

Parts are supposed to be here in the morning. I will put them on, drive it to see of the wobble is gone. If it is, off to the shop for the alignment. If not, back for another look.

Got it home today, jacked it up and had my wife move that tire. The outer tie rod end is shot. Hard as she could move the tire, the inner seemed to be fine, at this point.

Car has 86000 on it. The tire is able to be moved on the driver side only, so I think you are right about the issue being on that side.

I only mentioned having dropped it off because I would not...

Thank you. I am going to have someone grab the tire tomorrow and move it for me while I inspect.

If it is the inner, would you do just the inner, or would you do the whole rack. I have seen both...

Hold on sir. The shop is a few miles from the house. I am not a novice driver, and it doesn't act up until I get up to around 65-70mph. I will either replace the identified parts and take it for an...

Tie rod ends or steering rack

1994 C-4. Has a serious wobble going on/off entrance/exit ramps. On the highway, not too bad, unless I hit a big bump, then it gets wobbly.

Jacked up the front end, grabbed the tires at 12/6...

I drove a 1997 Jeep Wrangler up until about a month ago. No one ever wanted to race me.

Maybe it only happens in c-5s, or in my area.

I routinely took my c-5 on 500-1000 mile road trips. I have seen it more than a few times, and not from guys in old pick up trucks.

I am sure there are many current family cars which can keep up with, or go faster than a c4. The issue is that not every idiot with a driver license wants to test the guy driving the Accord.

Mine went to sleep for the winter. I may do some things to it over the winter (head liner, amp/sub), but it is off the road until spring.

IDK about cheap and plentiful. At least not in my area. Most seem to be beat all to hell, or severely overpriced.
