It's tie rods. Shouldn't be too tough, although I haven't done it yet.

its very easy... i done it on my crx my girlfriends crappy stealth (damn i hate that car) an integra, and an old chevy corsica no hard at all... well in my opinion it isn't... what if it was hard... just do it if you f it up then take it to a mechanic otherwise youll be straight... and most likly you should be straight unless you know nothing of cars then youll be screwed in which case you shouldnt be asking this question because you know that you know nothing of cars... i have been no help and i apologize.

its easy just jack the car up, unlbolt the tie rod and somehow get the ball joint sep. thast the hardest part, sometimes they seem to just slide off, but most of the time you will wack forever and get no where, so i suggest you get a pitman fork thingy, makes it easier,or a puller. but how do i get the bolt back on??? ive been trying forever, with an impact wrench, and it just spins and spins, never had any trouble before. any help?
