Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There was a slight shake in the steering. upon checking the left tie rod end was loose. after replacing the tie rod a check, by cutting the boot, revealed the ball and socket had dissintergated. this looks similar to those tie rod ends on the ram. it looks like there was no lubrication in the joint or that the whole thing was made of wroght iron and not steel. i would take a quick guess that one good jar would have dislodged the ball from the socket. the right hand tie rod end has some play in it. the boot looks in good shape with no holes.
