Banging the Shiet out of the bolt head defiantly helps bust the corrosion loose.
Aswell as heating the bolt as hot as you can then using "Air in a can", the stuff used to blast crap from your keyboard.
Turn the bottle upside down so it blasts the liquid instead of air out. It gets VERY cold very quickly and can help Thermal shock a bolt loose.

Well to take that Tie Rod off, take a hammer and hit the top of it down. It will just pop out of place. HOWEVER

Looks like you have a ton of room in there. Way more than what I was thinking. You sure you can't pound a socket onto that bolt and then remove it with a ratchet? Ask to borrow some tools if needed? If needed, try heating up that bolt. Heat usually breaks bolts away

Vise-Grips will work to. The biggest ones you can get. Make sure it's nice and tight on the bolt, and put all your effort into it.

of place and i put back in when i started beating on it

Did you shake the front tire down and feel any movement? If you grab the tire at the top and bottom and shake it, you'll feel some play. Have someone watch and see if you see any movement on the upper ball joint, lower ball joint or wheel bearing.

ya theres no play at all except when the wheel is of the disk has play but

i was told thats the way its suppose to be . . . still don't have any problems

so far so im just holden my breath for now . . . i got the computer hooked up

to it becouse abs inop came on i had them clear all the codes becouse it

was my fault that light came on i took the little gear off that the sensor runs

off of lol so other then that its fine . . . its got some tranny slip but i don't

think that could of caused the shakeing . . . i guess i just need take it to

dealer when i can afford it lol
