I too am having this problem. Tire went flat, not realizing, backed out of my parking spot, then discovered it. Had it towed and was told I had indeed caused some damage to the tire as well. I've had the air lead problems since I bought it new, 2001. I did have the wheel sanded and it lasted awhile, but came back pretty quickly it seemed. I also just failed my car inspection due to bad front right tie rod. I live paycheck to paycheck and no means of borrowing money or charging it to get it fixed. So, does it make sense for me to go to purchase a new tire and wheel myself and have the service station fix it or just let me order them? Also what is a resonable cost to have the tie rod fixed, plus i hear it will need to be balanced and alighned, is the alighnment imperative at this point? Being a woman on my own and broke, I want to try and not be overcharged or told I need more than I really due.
Sorry guys, you know us women, nothing is short and sweet, lol.
