I'm in the process of swapping out a bent tie rod and also control arm. The tie rod is almost out. Right now I can't get to the last steering boot band which is holding the boot on. It's inaccessible from the bottom. One of the guides in the DIY sub-forum is for a 2000 Outback and they had to remove an undertray somewhere. I can't find anything about that in the 2011 service manual.
