Front right tie rod / ball joint (Meyle) : RM95
Labor : RM50
Before replacing this, my ride was a little jarring going over stutter bumps especially - even the steering wheel "knocks" on these bumps. I always thot it was due to the Eibachs or the harder compound tires (RE711).
But after changing the new tie rod, the ride is fantastically plush (relatively of course) - it was definitely a worn ball joint. Again, a world of difference !
