frozen tie rods

[Michael Williams <michwill@SHCP.EDU>]

I have just been informed that the tie rods in my car are frozen in place
and therefore prevent any correctional allignment of the front wheels.  i
have an 85 coupe.  The shop soaked them in WD40 in hopes that they may
break free.  They stated that if they don't, then I will need new tie
rods.  Is this true, and is this problem common to anyone else out there?

Also, has anyone seen the coupe that is in the April (I think) issue of
European Car.  It is awesome, I want it right now.
