    Default What timing!


    I did my daughters brakes Saturday and told her to order a tie rod. It had play but the rubber boot was still covering it. She pulled into garage today, along with that new tie rod and here's what happened.

    I've never seen one actually fail. But the timing of it all could not have been more unbelievable.

    As my daughter pulled in when she stopped, I told her to turn the wheel to the right so it would be easier to access, and it broke.

    That's good, but would be better if strokes of luck happened when buying a powerball ticket. Now be careful and don't damage those fish catching paws.

    That's scary!! Thank God for holding that together until she got home! Could have certainly been catastrophic.

    Hopefully you get to change it in your Illinois garage not your 110 degree Florida garage.
