    Yes, you do grease tie rods on the Mack. The prices for parts are unreal! I paid over $280 for a sleeper torque rod

    I would do both tie rods, crosstube, pitman arm, drag and check/replace the U joints in the column at minimum, the rest of it isn’t far behind and it’s better to #### up one day of pay than 2

    yeah, it is amazing what these parts cost for some of these trucks. One reason why I love the self-lubercating systems, parts last a lot longer.

    One big surprise I had was when my sealed greaseless steering u joints lasted almost 2 million miles. On past Trucks the type with a grease fitting only last 500k max.
