Hello everybody!

How does one know when the inners are warn out on a vanagon? I watched a
few videos on it, when I hit a bump I definitely feel it in my steering
wheel. I don’t think mine have ever been changed, I’m at about 235k miles.
I have urethane bushings all around except the steering rack, haven’t
changed those old decrepit bushings yet and when I hit about 65 70 my
steering wheel is vibrating annoyingly. Gonna update to urethane bushing
for the rack mount and do the inner and outer tie rods while I’m at it and
install the steering stiffener. Just curious if those are the symptoms of a
warm inner tie rod? I was ready to change my urethanes back to rubbers but
I think my issue is in the steering rack now it’s the only thing I haven’t
updated. Thanks for reading. Peace tom
