check it out, about 4 months ago i found it was time to replace my inner tie-rods, tie-rod ends, and new boots. just for fun i had a local shop quote me to replace one inner tie-rod replacement and it came to the cost of 340 bones.
now with that price quote i went to atozone and bought 2 inner tie-rods, 2 tie- rod ends, energy suspension tie-rod end boots, and 2 inner tie-rod boots. all those parts caosted me 276 bones and i took it to the auto hobby shop on base and it costed me 8 dollars for 4 hours using a lift, hunter alignment machine, and all the necessary tools for the installation. the only pain in the rear part was that the inner tie-rod boots didn't want to slide into place at first so i played wih them for about 20 minutes each before i installed both of them in.

now tell me this, you know your happy to have new plugs, wires, and a radiator w/ accessories for less than what the shop quoted you for...right???
