Default Tie Rod Bushings
Anybody had any issues with the tie rod bushings wearing out where they connect to the steering rack? Audi says I have to buy the whole tie rod as the bushing is not a replaceable item. I noticed on inspection that they compress and flex a LOT when the wheel is turned. I have a slight vibration at certain speeds and wonder if this is contributing. Thanks.

Did those already, and they didn't really seem to need it. Just ordered new ball joint and complete tie rod arm. We will see how that goes.

If I were to replace the inner tie rod bushings, would I have to get the whole tie rod assembly?

How would you know if your tie rod ends were damaged?
