I'd have to see pictures to know what you're talking about for the tie rod end.
The reason I was going to have crappy tire do it for me is because won't the car need an alignment pretty much right after?


And good idea on the phases, my plan was originally park the car friday evening and get to it from saturday through until sunday, figuring that would give me plenty of time.


edit: looked up tie rod ends, yeah it's not that complicated at all. I think I'll tackle this one too then.
