Q: If one tie rod is bad on my 2005 Toyota Camry do I need to replace both of them.
After taking my car into the checked out for a problem in the front passenger tire I was told that the outer tie rod needed to be replaced . one mechanic told me that I could replace one and not have to do both and another mechanic told me that I needed to do both at the same time even though there was nothing wrong with the driver side tie rod. which is correct?
My car has 240000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
