Replace Tie Rod

Been getting some noise in my 99 2WD. The front end has a knocking sound when turning the wheel back and forth. Was quoted $600 to replace all the tie rod components. This sound right?

Sounds kinda high to me... Parts are about $200 I believe when I looked at mine. However you do need some special tools so that definitely can effect price. Still, a local shop quoted me less

Is that with parts? Not terrible... the only special tool you should need is a pitman arm puller and you can rent one from a local auto parts store. It's a very easy job, I'd say 1-2 hours worth

Not sure, I did it myself. Both upper tie rods were like $100 total in parts I think, 30 mins to replace
