My wife has this 1997 Accord DxV.

Her Dad said she needs a whole new rack.
Her "mechanic" said she needs CV and Outer tie rods. (Which is what i said)
She swears the outer tie rods are going to be on the steering rack and her dad said it'll come on the steering rack, too.
Im saying it will not and i dont want to buy the rack and then later say, "see, the problems persist because you're outer tie rods are still the same ones that the car had before and are still going bad."

Someone else please verify so I can put this behind me.

 

The inner rods are the only thing that comes on the rack. You would have to purchase the outers separately

What is the car doing to have steering parts replaced.

 

Thank you!

And to answer your question, nothing that I can see or hear. And I have enough know how and experience to see or hear. But she says there is an issue and her mechanic said shes right.. when it comes to steering im gonna put ego aside and do it.... I just ain't gonna buy a rack if thats not necessary.
