3/9 most likely a tie-rod, but could possibly be wheel bearing, 12/6 wheel bearing or ball joint. At that point you would need to investigate further to narrow down the suspect part.
I used grill paint on mine (may not look as good as engine paint). It has held up well, and required no prepwork. Only downside is it comes in one color.......
They used an old meter, but I'd suggest getting a DMM (digital multimeter). You can find them in the $5-$1500 range...and I'd suggest just for automotive testing , something in the $15 range (If you find a link to one and want to know if it's good enough lemme know). They test ohms, voltage...

I haven't really done anything too difficult yet, but my worst experience so far is throttle body shaft seals. One screw stripped and the other's head snapped off. No big problem....except then I broke a screw extractor. I tried to drill it out, but the screw extractor is harder than any bits I...
You might need to explain your problem a little better, but to me, it seems like when you let off the gas, the throttle does not shut properly.
If this is the case, before you installed the cable, did you check it to make sure it slides back and forth properly? Did you check the pedal for easy...
