What's your favorite solution/spray to use for loosening up rusted bits - in this case tie rod ends?
My local shop spent some time trying to free up rusted tie rod ends to do an alignment but couldn't get them to budge (yet). They used heat and have sprayed with their rust penetrator while they had it for the day, but curious what you all use?
Even though my alignment is probably off the E still drives well so I'm hoping hitting those tie rod ends every week on my own with some effective solution might continue to work away, and shop can get to move next month or 2 and get the alignment before my tires start getting beat up.
