How can I differentiate between a problem with the inner tie rod ends on my Toyota Camry versus the outers ? When I drive, there is a noticable shimmy in the steering wheel and when I am going around a curve in the road to the left, it feels more like a knocking in the steering wheel that I can feel through the drivers side floor boards as well. I have tried to wiggle the wheels sideways when the car is parked or rock them in and out and there is definitely some movement on the passenger side front. The drivers side does not move. I am guessing that the outer tie rod end is bad on the passenger side, but I don't want to dive into replacing the outer ends if that is the only problem. Is there a way to determine whether it is the outer versus inner ends and how do you tell where the problem lies? Thanks.

Special Flats for Tie-rod Ends? I'm needing to replace the power steering (rack & pinion) boot in our 2003 Ford Focus. The car's Chilton book explains how to do it, but there's one part that's confusing me. In the section talking about how to remove the tie-rod ends, it says: "Loosen the locknut on the tie-rod by a quarter-turn. Hold the tie-rod end stationary with another wrench engaged with the special flats while loosening the locknut." It must just be the grammar of it, but what's it saying - what's a special flat? Is it something that I need to hold in place using a (normal) wrench, or is it a special type of wrench?

How can I tell if my Honda Accord REALLY need ball joints + tie rod ends? My regular garage told me 50 miles ago that my '93 Honda Accord is fine. Now, the inspection station says it needs tie rod ends and ball joints - as well as other things that I KNOW it doesn't. ("A whole new exhaust system," for instance, even though they can't show me a single problem and the emissions test was good; "lots of work on the lights," all of which work; "the front bumper is falling off" - er, no, though one bolt was loose ... so I tightened it. ) But the steering has been fine, the brakes have been fine, and the car -- unlike the garage -- hasn't been making any funny noises. So, how do I check the tie rod ends and ball joints? How much would they cost if there realy is a problem? Thanks!
