On a related note, my wife took our 15-pass Ferd van to a tire shop because she didn't like the way it went all over the road. They told her it needed all new tie rod ends and ball joints and they'd be happy to do it for $600. I crawled under it and determined the tie rod ends were good (I'd replace the ball joints a year and a half ago) and then spent about 2 hours on the steering gearbox (vans are kind of inconvenient). The result was a much tighter ride and $600 bucks that didn't have to leave my pocket.
