wheel alignment
Hey guys, My car needs an alignment asap. its a 2002 kia rio. I took it to the shop VW does it for 49$. They recommended I get the left outer tie rod ,the right front wheel bearing, and both rear wheel bearings replaced before I do the alignment.
I would like to know will this really make a difference or are they trying to get more of my $$??
Also is it easy to replace the outer tie rod or PITA?
And would it be easier to replace wheel hub ?
Anyone do any of this work before on a kia rio ? I have no experience with kias.
help me guys !

Re: wheel alignment
Am I the only person who doesn't feel comfortable putting eBay parts of unknown origin on my car?
Tie rod replacement is usually pretty easy. You'll have to seperate the ball joint from the knuckle and then unthread the tie rod from the steering rod.

Re: wheel alignment
At least see what RockAuto or someone like that has, then you can get cheap but know what you're getting and who you're dealing with.
