You sure the INNER rod is bad? They usually dont go bad bro..

Take the OUTER one off.. Then check for In/out movement on the Inner.. If it doesnt move In/Out.. Then you are good to go.. If it moves..

ALL you need is 22mm and 17 mm.. and do some Double Wrenching, to get them off.

I tried to explain it to ya, over the phone.. Not sure If you got what I was saying.. Since that was last week..LOL

O yea.. count your teeth, or Mark them with white out.. Install as close as possible, Then go get an Alignment.
