    My daughter just had an accident and her tie rods snapped in two! Apparently this is rare, but could cause one to lose control - not so good. I believe she had them replaced for under $200.00 including parts and labor. Good luck.

    They are not very expensive no. Just forged pieces of steel. If you have a domestic then they are plentiful and should be easy to find. Labour may get you but that can vary by location. They are very important pieces but not very expensive.

    Hope this helps,
    Good luck

    Just out of curiosity, who told you that you need new tie rods, and why? Cracked?

    They are never very expensive. Just let me look under your hood and maybe then I can bend everything back into shape just the way you like it.

    I just had the tie-rods replaced on my car. The rods were around $75 a piece and labor was about $20 per rod, but that price is going to vary depending on the make of your vehicle and the service center that you go to.
