Default not normal. tough to check tie rods (not really an "END") if outers are shot or vice versa

they are just throwing parts at the car because they can.

Default then you can't complain. should have taken it to a real shop. they would have diagnosed

rather than just throwing parts at the car.

you probably have ONE bad tie rod end and they are just milking you.

Default And with customers like Biturbo5V, they can get away with that

Because all those customers will do is go whine somewhere and then come back the next time.

Default IF. and you are still at a BETTER shop who isn't trying to rip you off at every turn

and will spot and correct other problems when under there.

i can not stress this enough: DON'T go to the dealer for work outside of warranty. even when i was under warranty i did a lot of it myself.

hell, i'm still under CPO and i haven't been to the dealer since my factory warranty ran out.

Default Now THAT is a winning attitude

Looks like you'll keep going back, just as I had predicted.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2387567.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2387567.phtml</a</li></ul>
