[DML] Re: Tie Rods - almost done

["thebrave65" <johnnysher1@xxxxxxx>]

I managed to get both boots installed thanx to the help of the 
members of this list, (once again).  The floor jack did the trick to 
get the nut on and, after spinning around the block,  it doesn't seem 
out of alignment.  I'm going to take it on the freeway tomorrow and 
try it out.

Thanx again to all who responded to my cries for help!
