Wow Tom. That's some amazing driving skills. You're quik like a bunny. Sorry that happened but I know 95 all to well in your area. I lived in Richmond for a while and had some training classes in Dumfries. From your stretch of pavement to Dumfries was like being in a pole position the whole way at 0700 in the morn. Hurry hurry now stop!!

Oh, and did you have full coverage? (to keep it from being a thread jack, for those who don't get it, read the zombie revolution thread....and some) doesn't hurt either.)
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

You must mean the SWORDY-designed Tie Rods that Matt over at Indy COPPIED!!!
Ive had a similar SWORDY set for years....
Heres the problem....the joints that both aftermarket used DO NOT HAVE THE SAME ANGLE capabilities as the stock OEM units....This means they BIND under full droop!!!!They Bind Bad enough to bend the Tie Rod end joints and also the idler arm bolt-shaft
Big Swede hads had problems with this also....

Just a little update.
The garage said that Isuzu claims it'll take 6-8 weeks to get the steering box. RamAirZ is kindly sending me his spare. I'll start looking tomorrow for a new set of seals for it. They really only need the sector shaft from the donor box.
Yah, I had comp but being the miser that I am, I have a $1K deductable so I'll be out a little ching.

WooHoo!!! The VX should be outa the shop by the end of the week. It was just the steering box & a steering knuckle. There was a 'tweek' to the end of the frame on that side but they indicated that it was easily straightened.
They ended up replacing the front cladding & fender cladding as well. I had them save the old ones (prolly not useful to anyone since they were cut to clear the tires but lemme know if anyone needs them for a project or sumpn).
All that's left to do is an alignment & cleaning.
I saw some of the work they've done on other cars (including the Ford that I hit). This place does some awsome work (although somewhat expensive). I may end up taking the Eclipse there for a paint job.

Glad to hear that everything got fixed and you will be back on the road soon.
