Installed all ordered parts $350. Torqued everything to specs as per Haynes Manual. Test drove, Talon feels much stiffer on pass side now. got a knock on drivers side, gonna have to piece this repair out, funds running low, not gonna buy crap though just to put it in. All joints look to be about in the same horrible condition. Probably gonna replace the lower lateral control arm first, because that's the one that gave up first on the pass side. replaced the outer tie rod end (TRW). Replaced (1) broken wheel stud in each rear wheel, second one went much faster than the first. All bushings in the rear knuckles look bad too, didn't see a part listing at Advance for any of the rear suspension parts except axle, rear sway bar link and wheel hub. After replacing both tie rod ends car only pulls slightly to the right now, not gonna bother with an alignment until i get all the parts replaced, would just b a waste of time otherwise(and money)
