tie rod question...
 

i heard something about svx's inner tie rods being adjustable?? is that insane? or right... and does that mean i wouldnt have to replace mine, i could just tighten them?? if so, how? seems crazy to me

They are only adjustable in the sense that you can adjust the distance from the outer tie rod to the rack itself to adjust toe in, or out.
The only to get rid of wear/play is to replace them.

thanks for clearing that up
