Started breaking stuff already

Went to give my coilovers a last go before I lit my truck on fire and rolled it down the street. When I jacked my truck up, I noticed the passenger tie rod was completely shot. I'm replacing both outers with Moogs. Should I do the inners as well?

My rule of thumb is this. Unless it cost lots of $$$ which tire rod ends do not, if I have already taken the time to have something torn down and accessible, go ahead and do preventative maintenance then. Would suck not to replace a part that is destine to wear at some point to find yourself back under there just a short time later. Not to mention then you would only have to pay for ONE alignment.

You got a good point.

Yeah- I'm so done with these damn coilovers. I would like once for things to go well when I try to crank them. Newest problem yesterday was a stripped head in the shcs holding the adjusting ring in place. Grrrrrrr- I'm getting these 40's on by Monday...one way or another.
