If the rubber is bad, and the arm is bent, its time for a new one.

You have to replace the entire arm, because its actually one piece. You can't just replace the tie rod end.

I have a few on hand if you are interested, PM me.

It really needs a lube fitting. I hate these "lubbed for life" ball joints!

Did you replace the shock mounting plates? Does the noise sound like it coming from the rear window dash?
