I ended up just hacking an external breather between the two boots. I posted about it in the inner tie rod replacement forum.

As far as the struts, I pushed down on each corner of the car and it...

I took the boots off and I'm still getting the bubbles. This is with the vehicle turned off and the wheels off the ground though, so I'm honestly thinking it's just churning in the return container...

Here's some pictures to explain what I am talking about.

You can see that the parts are NOT the same, like all of the manufacturers state, Auto7 on RockAuto has it right. On...

Okay so when you did your inner tie rods, did you realize that one of them from the factory has a breather hole in the threads and the other doesn't? The ones I got from Moog didn't have the...

I just did the timing belt (again) last week. I had a mechanic buddy do the timing belt about 5 months ago and it started to fray out of nowhere. Must have gotten a defective one. Luckily it...

I was a little confused when you are talking about getting the drum with the sealed bearing. After some research I realize now that some of the Aveos in 05 and earlier have a drum/bearing assembly. ...

Luckily I found a tap at Napa in Naperville and some proper sized bolts to test the threads at that Home Depot so I am heading that way to grab them.

Good thing you said that because I am doing...

Alright, I'm glad to hear your repair is holding up well still. I liberally applied red locktite to the driver's side inner tie rod threads. These lasted 110k miles, if the car makes it to 220k the...

I figured it would be helpful to share some pictures as well.

I'm also sorry for reviving a dead thread. Tonight I went to do the inner tie rods on my girlfriend's Aveo and had the exact same issue on the passenger side.

The first few threads on the rack...
