2 quick questions

1) I purchased a steering rack + outer tie rod ends, and am wondering if the ball joints are part of the steering rack or seperate?


2) If I had a flat tire and it was patched from the inside and its still leaking air over time, can it be repatched or do I have to cough up the cash for a new tire



thanks guys :D
 
The BJ can be thought of as separate from the tie rods/steering system in terms of parts R/R.

Good luck.
