Default Good news - airspring covered under CPO warranty Bad news-tie rod not covered
Dealer asking $640 to replace driverside outer tie rod and wheel alignment which is needed after new tie rod install.Is this a fair price?

No, that seems rather high. I'd think it would be about half that price at an indy.

Default agreed, way to high..
not sure what the labor rate is where you are but 1 tie rod plus align should be max 3.5 hours figure $100 for part it should be $500 max

Agreed. Good suspension shop can do it. I bought parts online, paid my alignment shop labor.

Default its seems like that's the price for the airspring labor....
and then some. The air spring is about 2 hours...the tire rod is far less.

Install I think cost me $100 for both sides inclusive. Can require heat to remove.
