Ok I freekin over-torqued the bolt on the outer tie-rod, which cracked the spindle right where the outer tie rod plugs into, you guys think i should replace it, or let it ride?

I normally wouldn't think twice, but this car has 300k Miles on it, and it honestly doesn't seem that bad.

That's a definite REPLACE that part. If that fails, your control arm will meet the pavement...hopefully not at 80MPH

Check ebay, I've seen those spindles for under $100

so i got a used one from the local scum of the universe used parts dealer for 120$

Over-priced in my opinion, shoulda been 60$.

I was undoing the ABS sensor bolt and the head snapped off. Now I can't get it out even with a screw extractor kit. I'm gonna bring to my local mechanic tomorrow and see what he can do.

These used parts guys are scum.
