So just before WF I noticed my outer tie rod on the passenger side had loosened up and the inner and moved up and down as the adjustment sleeve became a pivot point. NOT GOOD!! I was able to tighten it back down and it seemed to pretty solid so off of Williamsport PA for work on Tuesday night continuing to upstate NY (WF) on Wednesday evening. Did Watkins Glen Thunder Road and then the show. Returned home with no issues.

Today I ordered new Moog inner and outer tie rods to go with the centerlink I got on Ebay some time ago. Also ordered the UMI adjustment sleeves all from Summit. $101 shipped to my door. Looking forward to working with some real parts (sleeves) and not the flimsy stock adjustment sleeves for a change (always hated those). Depending on how they work I will install on my Impala as well. If it all gets here by Friday I will install this weekend and have the front end aligned on Monday for my trip to Maine, New Hampshire and Connecticut next week. Should be about 1100-1400 miles total.

Sounds like a plan for tightening up your steering and stay safe on your trip.
