[RESOLVED] Tie rod?

[EclipsexGsx]

Ok so heres the problem. i took a deep right turn to get into a parking and then i heard a thumpp. next thing you know, the right side wheel is not moving with my steering wheel. So is it the tie rod because someone told me it was. Thanks

Most likely, don't be cheap and replace just the broken side. Do both sides, I would also check the upper/lower ball joints, wheel hubs for problems. If your tie rod end was wore enough that it broke, more than likely the rest of the front end needs attention.

I am 90% sure that would be the problem.
Always remember replace both sides, because your other side is probably just as bad.

There's 2 parts to the tie rod, the inner and outer (end). The tie rod end is usually what goes bad and can be replaced for pretty cheap. You'll need to take the wheel off and look to see which is broken.
