How easy are they to replace? I replaced my suspension a month or so ago and noticed this.

Sorry for the bad camera phone photo.

and ry to move the wheel with your hands sideways. If it is loose, your wheel will move and if it is still good the wheel will stay intact. However, by the looks of your pic, it is toast. Tie rods are dangerous if loose, you might have a chnace that a high sppeds or cornering the wheel might fall off.

The wheel won't fall off, you'll just lose you steering, which could be just as dangerous

time to replace in the near future. them things brake and you will go somewhere because you cant steer. replace em as soon as possible. 110$ for a set of 2 and some muscle grease.
