You know you drive 300 when....

[Vector300C]

When you roll through wal-mart parking lot and everyone stops to watch you cruise by.

...When you park in the back 40, and some POS 84 GMC half-ton STILL manages to park beside you, in an otherwise empty lot!

Can anybody tell me what the symptoms of tie rod trouble would be? Thanks

[OoTLink]

Agroal: The tie rods have rubber 'insulators' on the ends that get torn really easily - eventually that leads to them drying out (lubricant leaks/dries out) and that's when the problems begin. When the rubber is shot, it'll feel like you're driving with an out of balance wheel (vibrating the steering wheel at certain freeway speeds).

My car's original set lasted till around 50,000 or 60,000 (I can't remember which), and then I had to replace them (because on one, the bushings were totally shot). Not long after, I noticed the rubber was already tearing on the new (moog) replacements. LAME! It's been over a year and those ones are still doing ok, though.

When the fast lane off the motorway/highway parts/clears in front of you when your thundering along at warp speed!

Thanks I think the problem was solved pre- '08?

I do this every single time! I actually look back more than once just to admire it and then to make sure I set the alarm on it! lol

I do this a lot too when I park it outside in the front.

When you think you have the best looking car in the parking lot

When you have the only "American" car in the parking lot. (Wait!.. this actually used to happen to me all the time at my college XD) All the kiddies had WRXes and beater Hondas. I must be the only person that looks behind me when I hear a loud "prop plane engine" looking to see if it's a modded WRX.

Ours will always look better than the newer models!
