Looks like its time to do some front end work. I was looking at my purchase history and to find out I purchased AWD inner tie rods and installed them on my FWD vibe :o I cant believe I did that. I ALWAYS double check. The part numbers are different. I have 80,000 miles on them and didnt have any alignment issues or uneven tire wear, and I always compare old with new before installation. I guess they are interchangeable :oops: :lol:

I can't really imagine the inner tie rods being much different other than in length a bit. The outers are probably even interchangeable, since they all adjust. I know the outer tie rod mounts differently on the AWD than the FWD.
