Greetings. Just took my '95 850T in for its 60,000 km service (yes, eight years old and only 36,000 miles). The mechanic is recommending that the tie rod ends be replaced; including the necessary re-alignment afterwards, he's quoting about $250 for the job.
I've already had the front end realigned once, after some very bumpy bad-road driving at about 30K km.
Seems to me that 60,000 km is not very much, to need such a repair. Is this plausible, or is he trying to rip me off? The steering is perfectly straight at the moment.
cheers,
Henry
