I had tie rods in my caliber replaced and i'm hearing a creaking sound at low speeds as well. when i go over bumps and pull into my driveway from an angle. any idea why?? i will have to call the dealership monday.

Will bad tie rods result in wheel vibration at high speeds? Just had car checked out for unrelated problem and they told me my tie rods need to be replaced. I have noticed vibration at speeds of about 65+. I thought maybe wheel balance or cupping, but never bothered to get it checked. I would be willing to do the tie rods myself if it is not too difficult, they quoted me 215.00 for rods and alignment. Is that a fair price?

I think that's close to what they quoted me at I'd have to check after work to make sure. I had them fixed under warranty and the dealership also said my lower control arms needed replaced. The warranty contractorr would only cover the tie rods so I only had those fixed. Took it back into the shop a week later and the contractor came back out and replaced the control arms too.
