Ok he told me the tie rods were 35 bucks a piece for both
The shop charges 70 an hour for labor which isnt bad but he said it would take 2-3 hours to do tie rods and the alignment was 60 bucks.

Did they qoute you to replace the innners and outers ?
Napa Economy Line " Made overseas" $28.78 per tie rod inner or outer
Napa Lifetime Warranty "made in USA"44.68 per tie rod inner and outer
Adjusting Sleeves 14.38 Economy line 26.46 For USA made
Also To replace all 4 tie rods Book Time is 1.7 hrs our Labor rate is $79.00 hrly = $134
Front end Alignment if we do the work is Free ,if we don't do the work its $59.99
If you are a paying Motown Muscle Club Memeber get a 15% discount is you are not a paying member it is 10%
total for whole job Replacing only tie rods No Adjusting Sleeves and Performing Alignment with economy parts is
$249
%10 off is $224.08
%15 off is $211.65
Totals for job with USA Made parts all 4 tie rods No Adjusting Sleeves including alignment.
$312.72
10% off $281.45
15% off $$265.81
Both Jobs include only replacing the 4 tie rods and doing the alignment. The odds of succesfully removing the old adjusting sleeves if they are original are slim to none with out serious damage occuring. So add $30 for Import sleeves and $50 for USA made sleeves. I doubt they will come off.
Did they inspect the Idler Arm and the Pitam arm for wear as well ? Those are very commonly worn out components.
Oh Buy a membership. It will save you money.
The mechanic told me that they were just doing out because they were pretty bad. He did tell me a had an idler arm that was a little loose but overall he said my front end was pretty tight besides those outer tie rods. He said $300 was after the discount and not doing all that stuff you mentioned...lol.
make sure you don't put your otter rods upside down
Well....i wont be the one putting them on...lol.
Definately not high quality parts at $35 a tie rod.

It will never align correctly with a loose Idler or pitman. If you want to bring it Over I can give you a detailed written qoute and I will do a courtesy front end inspection and check everything for wear so you know exactly what needs servicing.
