Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 3/5
- Estimated time: 60-120 minutes per side (depending on experience and tools)
Instructions:
- Park on level ground, set parking brake, and chock rear wheels.
- Loosen lug nuts on the front wheel, then lift the vehicle with a floor jack and support securely on jack stands. Remove the wheel.
- Locate the tie rod assembly and spray penetrating oil on fasteners and threads if corroded.
- Loosen the outer tie rod jam nut that secures the outer tie rod to the inner tie rod and mark the position or count turns for reference to preserve alignment.
- Separate the outer tie rod from the steering knuckle using a tie rod removal tool or pickle fork. Do not damage the boot if reusing.
- Remove any clamps or fasteners and slide back the steering rack boot to expose the inner tie rod end.
- Use the appropriate inner tie rod tool to unthread and remove the old inner tie rod from the steering rack.
- Compare the new inner tie rod to the old unit to confirm correct part and orientation.
- Thread the new inner tie rod into the steering rack by hand, then tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque with a torque wrench. If torque specs are not available, consult the factory service manual.
- Reposition and secure the steering rack boot with new clamps if provided or required.
- Reattach the outer tie rod to the steering knuckle, tighten the jam nut to secure steering geometry (use the marked position or turn count as a guide).
- Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and torque lug nuts to the manufacturer's specification.
- Because replacing inner tie rods can change alignment, take the vehicle to a qualified shop for a professional wheel alignment immediately after installation.
