It says: "Fits Most GM, Ford, & Chrysler" but this is the only kind they have on Ebay. If it's not right what should I be looking for and where? Thanks.

why would you think a domestic tool would work on a import? think man think, the only tools you should need to replace the tie rods are metric wrenches and a pair of needle noses, and you might wanna jack it up in the air and take the wheel off. that might make it a little more easy. :bong: :bandit:

All you need is a crow foot wrench and a hammer and a alignment tool. I did all my tie rods in my car a couple of months ago.

Lisle tools makes an inner tie-rod end tool that has several inserts for a variety of cars... but it also costs $60. If you don't plan on doing too many of these jobs in your lifetime, take the advice above and grab a crow's foot (I think it's 19mm, but don't quote me) and a long extension and go to town. :D

We managed with a screwdriver and a wrench. Only took an hour for both sides, inners and outers.
