Hey guys, just wondering, I have a 1999 honda civic dx and I just saw yesterday that my passenger tie rod end; (the rubber piece) has a tear in it and some grease is starting to come out.There is no bad movement or vibration with the tie rod but I was told that the whole piece would have to be replaced not just the rubber. Now this week I have to drive approx 3-4 hours in two trips.Mainly highway but there will be probably about an hour of streets. And I was seeing would this be ok to drive with until I get back? Ive only got a couple days before I go and I may not be able to repair and get it aligned by then.
Thanks for the help

 

yes you will be ok..and replace them they are only about 17bucks at autozone most time you dont need a lignment but if its that bad and your going to get a alignment then replace both

 

Mine cost me $50 a side. The lock nuts that hold them on are a bitch to get off but overall my steering seems very tight now.
