[QUOTE="Ben Geller, post: 927412, member: 67601"] I went to get a safety cert. done on my trac last night and here's what they say I need. - Brake indicator light fail (light on dash when ebrake is on is not working) - Right outer tie rod loose - Both front sway bar link ends missing Here are my questions... Indicator light not working. I assume it would be the switch on the ebrake pedal or the electrical connection behind the brake pedal that has failed or dirty? Or, When you first start the trac is that one of the lights that come on prior to start because mine doesn't. Can someone check that for me please? Tie Rod is pretty self explanatory... Change the tie rod and should be good. Mark with marker, unscrew, then install new one to that point? Is an alignment mandatory after this? front sway bar end links... Now this is the one I have never had any experience with. What needs to be done here? Is this a big issue or simple fix? Anyone have a picture of what and where this would be? Unfortunately I need to sell my trac due to an expanding family, so quick, cheap fixes are the way i'm looking to go. If I was keeping the trac i'd be going all out! Thanks in advance! Ben [/QUOTE]
