Anybody ever see this before?
My daughter came to me the other day and said her 1998 GT was making clunking noises when she turned. So I took the car for a ride and the steering was a mess. Her car has 150k miles on it so I told her I'd rebuild her suspension for her birthday. Got under the car and the inner tie rod was leaking what looked like oil. I know they are greased but my only thought is that the ball joint seized and was boiling the grease. Ever see this before? She also hade both sway bar links broken. Anyway she now has a completely new suspension and life is good but I've never seen a tie rod do that before.
