I was just told my right tie rod needs to be replaced.

My question are:
How much should this repair cost?
Should I replace the left side as well?
What else "needs? to be done at this time?

Also, pads and rotors need to be done. WHat should this cost?

I have absolutley no ability to do this myself and am sending it to a very reputable independent shop.

Thanks for your help.

I am getting my tie rod ends replaced(both) and also rotors and pads at $100.00 total.
But, after tie rod ends are replaced, you will need Quattro alignment, which my local Audi dealer is charging $180.00

Probably .75 to 1.0 hour each side. If they are frozen, they are a real PITA. A new tie rod end set on ebay is about $70 for both sides.

You will need an alignment done aftwards.

Pads and rotors are not cheap, and an Audi dealer charges something like 3-4 hours total for replacing them.

If you go to audipages, the procedure is very, very simple.

And the guy who does it just exudes competence.

They work on Audis, M-Bs, and Porsches all the time.
