Default Re: Tie Rod Assembly

OK, maybe learned a valuable lesson yesterday about buying 'cheap' parts.
Had a noise in the right rear of my antique '89 Ford Probe LS, first thing I did was order some replacement rear wheel bearings off eBay for like $15, that was 2 years ago.
Noise went away, but recently came back.
Sounded like drum brake scraping, but I found nothing when I took it apart Sunday.
What I found was that one of the bearings in the double row configuration was bad.
I dug one of the old bearings out of the scrap drawer ( NEVER throw anything away ) and put it in.
Noise gone, all is well.
I have about 112,000 on this car, think I'll find a set of Timkins or the like and replace again with some new 32 mm nuts that haven't been used ( staked ) 3 times.
