Oh jw..... Do you realize what a loaded question this is? I mean everyone has an opinion and no one here has seen the thing, so how can anyone say? jw says... >The vehicle periodically starts shimmy-ing above 60 OH, so that's why you don't tach out. :) >My question is, how far would you drive with a worn inner tie >rod? Personally, I'd drive it only in a 50 mile radius. It really depends on how bad it was, but it sounds like it is pretty bad to me. >I was planning to drive to northern Vermont from Rhode >Island for the Labor Day weekend (about 500 mi. round trip). I hope you have AAA, then you don't have to worry if you need a tow. I got stuck in RI once, not with the Saab though, with the truck. >Will the thing snap on me? I plan to keep it under 65 mph or >so, which is hard to do but given the circumstances... Very likely it would, I mean that is alot of miles. Borrow someone's car, get a ride with someone, rent a car or make sure you set yourself up with some sort of assistance. <I sound like a mother, don't I?> > >Probably difficult to say if you haven't seen it, but wondering >if anyone has experience with this. It is hard to say, no one is going to come on here saying...."AH, just drive it." It wouldn't ease your conscience much anyway. ~J~
