I got snow tires on the '05 Golf the other day, hadta get a tie rod assembly on the right front for it to get aligned. I'd thought it felt odd but Angie hadn't said anything... The rears were worn out anyway which explained the bad oversteer when it was slippery. The tire with the bad tie rod was worn real bad on the inside too. My '98 Jetta also has a bad tie rod, its going in tomorrow... -Curt

Alignment was out of spec, surprisingly, and the right front wheel was 1-1/2 ounces out of balance, too. Drives like it's brand new now, according to youngest son. Thank goodness, as I had visions of one of the front tires losing a belt....
