I think I have worn out at least one of the tie-rod ends on my '84
7-passenger.  I think that all the front suspension and steering parts
except for the rack boots are original.  Generally, I let one of the
mechanics at my local Tires Plus store do such things.  I don't have the
time to do the job myself and have never worked on a front end so I would
like to farm the job out unless others have had problems.  Also, if the shop
insists on sourcing the parts on its own, are there likely to be problems
other than it is going to cost more?
