The outer tie rods shouldn't cost that much but the inners could. However, do the rear brakes yourself. $50 for pads and $20 for machining the rotors and it's costing you $70 to do it yourself. Any NAPA should be able to machine the rotors. If yours are already at the minimum thickness, then even w/ new rotors, it's cheaper than the dealer. Just make sure you have to tool needed to compress the piston in the caliper (shouldn't be more than $10 at Sears). If your worried about torque specs, Amazon has great deals on SK torque wrenches.
