It is important to get your tie rod ends inspected on a regular basis. Along with that, if you suspect your tie rod ends are going bad, they will give off a few warning signs that you can also be on the lookout for.
Expect to wait an average of six weeks for your North Carolina state tax refund. That's six weeks from the time the North Carolina Department of Revenue received your return -- not six weeks from the date you mailed it. If you file your return close to April 15, expect a longer waiting period.
IMPORTANT: The Department's average response time for issuing a refund is approximately six weeks from when NCDOR receives a taxpayer's return. Response time should be calculated from the date NCDOR acknowledges receipt of the return, not the date when the return was mailed or electronically submitted by the taxpayer. Paper return filers should allow additional time for mailing and processing.
