Howdy my son bumped a neighbor car and broke the tie rod in our rx300 does anyone have some type of wheel system so I can move it(get the front wheels off the ground) 30 feet up in the driveway so I can work on it?

Wheel dollies are a relatively inexpensive and useful tool to have around. I have a cheap set you're welcome to borrow if you don't want to purchase some. N. Phoenix, PM me if you're interested.

Use a jack. Jack up the front of the vehicle, then turn the wheel or kick it like a mule without a Jack.

Unfortunately I don't think it's quite that simple with rack-and-pinion steering- as soon as you try to move the car the wheel likely will turn to the stops. OTOH if it's on a smooth surface you can often move the car with a jack under it, but it can be challenging if you don't have several people helping.

I work for AAA, I do this all the time.
