I thought they only stood firm for a few thousand miles ... anyhow mines drop like that too and I have a clunk I think is coming from the rack , I checked the inners and cant see movement in them I have a video of it . may need a new rack.
@danjreed that is not how to test an inner tie rod, jack up the car have some one shake the tire back and forth (not up and down) while you look for loosness from the inner and outer tie rods
ZF is on vr6s and it has a waffle design. if you go to germanautoparts . com and just click whatever car you have and itll just give you the right parts
IM NOT TRYING TO ADVERTISE BUT IM SCARED OF WHAT IT SEES in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins or this will happen good luck!! and i only did this because it freaked me out o.o
Yo, Mr Reed, you should put your DIY vids on metacafe. They pay you once you've reached so many views. There is one guy on there (kipkay) that has made almost $200k in the last 3 yrs just from random DIY vids.
Hey Dan, does this test apply to all cars in general or is it specific to only VW's? My inner tie rod is flappy as well on my Nissan and my steering is feeling a bit loose.
This saved me. I was only gonna replace the outer on a 94 geo metro and after watching the video I realized the inner was also bad (I also did the thumbs down after testing it, lol).
It took a few weeks to get the parts (got a new clean boot kit, too), but the alternative would be much worse (aka having the steering wheel lose control on the interstate). Thanks very much.
very helpful, confirms my doubts upon replacing my passenger tie rods and gives me something to test the driver's side with!

@jasmats They should still be firm.. even after a while.. When they flop - they are done.
