Step One: Firstly, ensure the engine of the car is off fully. Safety is very important! After that, jack the car off of the ground. And safety is key to ensuring the car in stable and safe on jack stands. So your car doesn't fall or move while you are working.
Next, remove the front wheels. Step 2 This is required so that we can properly view and access the inner tie rod. A lug wrench is a must tool that you will need to loosen the lug nuts which have kept wheels perfectly tight. But don't lose all the nuts, you will need use them when putting on wheels back in place later.
Step #3 Now You Need A Tie Rod Removal Tool. It helps you release the outer tie rod end from something called a steering knuckle. The piece on pancake can be inserted into the small crevice between top and bottom shell, then applying pressure by pushing down to separate both pieces. Please be slow, and gentle so you do not break anything.
Step 6: Great job so far! Now you can either install a new inner tie rod, or have the old one repaired. If you are installing a new tie rod, then simply work through the steps in reverse. Which is you will perform the every steps reverse way and be sure to place all of them in right order.
Step 2: Remove the outer tie rod end from steering knuckle Then take a pipe wrench and clamp onto the inner tie rod. Use to wrench and twist it a few times loosening the bearing. This will make it easier for you to perform a tie rod replacement. But please be careful! While this can work it does sometimes damage parts like the steering rack or may cause additional repairs later when having to replace a damaged tie rod itself.
Many people think that you have only to take down the steering rack in order to change a inner tie rod This is not true! To access the inner tie rod, you only need to remove the outer tie rod end and loosen up clamps on its rubber boot. Another thing that might be easier than it seems,
One last misconception people have is that the old tie rod can be reused if they only replace the rubber boot. However, if the tie rod is worn or breaks off you be replace it. This is extremely important for your car handling and driving safety.
