I just don't get it!

Here is a photo of the tie rod and the drag link under the bus. I have to get new tie rod ends and thus had to remove all of that.Soooooo.......

Why not clean it up, remove all the rust, get 'er looking pretty!

After spending a couple of hours in the workshop stripping the rust and crud I got a nice clean shiny drag link and tie rod ends. Proud of my achievements I showed Michelle....her expession told all. With a puzzled look she said "This is all going to be under the bus right?....
I just don't get it!"
