I recently got into a fender bender which broke my tie rod. My tie rod end is fine. But I drove it to the side of the road. It was fine. I drove the other car out of the road. Then we parked in a parking lot and agreed that we didn't need cops there. So her car went first then mine. I had 1 foot to go and it wouldn't move. Me being stubborn forced it and broke my cv shaft. I just replaced my cv shaft but cannot get my tie rod off. it's broken in the middle between the ball ping and the tie rod end. There's a nut like on the ball ping where i believe i can remove it from there. Any ideas? Oh and if you have a fender for a passenger that'd help to.

yeah theres a tool to remove the inner tie rod end you can get them at most parts supply stores. it looks like a long tube with different "c-clips" that fit different size inners and you use a ratchet on the end of the tube.

I'll look tomorrow after i get off work. I'll go to a store and see. I have to get the part off to order it cuz i don't want the wrong part. And it's really hard to drive without a tie rod so i'll get up on it. i'll let you know
