dude pinoy...you're all over the place.

if they show you the "tie-rod" being loose...then there you go...what other question is there to ask?

if it is the wheel bearing/hub, i'd suppose you hear it by now.

i'd like to see pictures of the tie rod ball joint to see what the damage is...ask them to show you the damage.

The FD RX7 had rear double wishbone:

The FC RX7 had multi-link and the FB RX7 had a live axle.

I'm not a S13/14 expert...but spending 10 min searching shows that the rear suspension links are not called tie rods by any of the sources I could find. They seem to be called "rear toe control links/arms"...and there is a "rear traction link/arm".
okay, i thought the FD's had a multi-link but i was wrong.

As for the rear suspension toe arms, people call them rear tie rods. this guys mechanic, me and other many other people. Tie rods adjust toe, simple as that. in the s2000 parts catalog, they call the boot on the end of that arm a "boot, tie rod end", so that piece must be a tie rod.

I just bought a junkyard axle from an '06 with 6k miles on it for $125 shipped. Fix the tie rod first then move on to see if there is something else wrong.

we got the problem its the wheel hub assembly or bearing . we replaced the bearing will be doin a test drive and inspection later. ill give you guys an update and just to correct the mechanic who said that the tie rod is worned out. he was wrong it was only the boot. but everything is fine. we removed the disc brake rotor tried to shake the hub and it sure is shaking,. then the honda mechanic said he replaced the wheel bearing with a new one and based on his report the shaking was gone. but will have to test drive it still later. thank you so much guys!!!

Please let us know the result of your test drive. I predict that you still have a vibration, but I hope that I'm wrong.

Hoy, my Honda dealer won't take parts back, sometimes they will but the restocking fee is rediculous.
