Answered: Front tie rods

Does anybody have pics of the tie rod ends on the GT. I think there are 2 inner and 2 outer. Are the inner ones covered by the boot?

I think I might have some pictures in my photo gallery; but yes, the inner tie rods are covered by the steering rack boots.

If you still have those metal clips holding the rubber boots, a zip tie makes a nice alternative. Getting those metal clips on and off can drive you crazy!
