I've got a 2000 Ranger..... the bushing at the end of the tie rod end is cracked and broken up when i go to take a sharp turn it make gross grinding almost noise. Its a sealed bushing where you don't have to lube them so do i need to replace the whole tie rod or can i just relpace the bushing??:puzzled:

i broke a tie rod on my 1ST ranger and it cost around 90 bucks for a new one with the bushing so i say just replace it!
