drag link + tie rod quick question
Hey guys,
not familiar with this parts.
The TIE ROD rotates as I push and pull on it with my hand. The bushing seemed old and deformed.
Is this a normal status for it?
And the DRAG LINK move up and down as i push and pull with my hand, here the bushing seems to be in worst condition.
How about this one? is it normal?

So, the joints on both of those components allow for misalignment which is why they rotate like that. The tie rod looked pretty normal but the driver's side kinda sounded a little dry to me maybe. Hard to tell on the video but kinda sounded like a light scraping as it rotated. that might have been something else i heard. The drag link looks sloppy. it should twist like the TR was, but you shouldn't be able to shake that thing up and down.
