2005 F-350 Tie Rod End Replacement

Replacing the tie rod end on our 2005 DRW King Ranch. Just shy of 150k miles we're getting some unwanted vibration in the steering wheel (beyond the tires being replaced)
Simply task to do if you hit the nuts with a little PB Blast before hand.
Not many tools needed:
- 13mm socket
- 15mm socket
- 22mm socket
- Pickle Fork

That was a scary sight that you had no jack stand supporting your front end… that’s a lot of trust you’re putting on that jack.

For sure! What could possibly go wrong with Harbor Freight jacks? (less concern than the stands HAH) Honestly - the jack has been rock solid, and if it slipped, it would be a new rotor.. Let's forgot about the time the driveline was removed to replace the carrier bearing and the wheel chock got removed by mistake..

I was always told to count the number of turns when unscrewing a tie rod end and count the turns back on. Marking them is a good idea too.

Yup, I did both, hence the paint. If i recall, the new part was a little different in length, so I had to adjust a bit.

Measure tires edge to edge and do one at a time , re set with a tape measure, or measure the rotors the front and rear side of rotors

Thanks for the visual. Should be an easy replacement this weekend. Any idea of the required torque on that nut? Think I found it. 85 ftlbs

I'm a little confused as to the painting & measuring because it looked like you just screwed/unscrewed the tie rod end to make it line up?

@DachsAutos 2 жыл бұрын

I used the paint mark on the tie rod as my starting point. I did make a slight adjustment, but seeing as it was going in for an alignment, I was not concerned with 100% accuracy.

@Silver Grizzly in all reality. I'm not working under the car, so if the jack failed the worst that happens is the rotor gets a knock

Great video and very informative! Thank you! Could one of these tie rods be the cause of a death wobble?

@DachsAutos 2 жыл бұрын

I certainly did not experience it in my truck, but between the tie rods or any of the steering components being worn beyond adjustment, it can certainly contribute to it.

@frederickmatthews4259 Жыл бұрын

usually the DW is result of worn steering damper, and also a worn track bar ball joint.

Just curious why you wouldnt replace the tie rod end from your drag link as well? Im currently in the middle of a complete front end rebuild.

At the time it was not needed, and with a recent alignment after this work, no other parts were found to be worn.

HAH! Thanks for watching. It took me a bit to find it too, ES80755 was my part number, same across multiple manufacturer names. It seems my F350 is elusive for many parts to find (for ex: the MasterPro bearing number matches the National & Timken numbers, and specs, but the latter two show as not compatible)

@ErickGarcia-bn5lp Жыл бұрын

What were the symptoms that made you realize you needed new ones?

@DachsAutos Жыл бұрын

I did have some cupping on the front tires which could be a symptom, but also upon replacing my rotors/brakes, I noticed excessive slop in the tie rod end.

@kwmiked Жыл бұрын

Usually outter edges of tires start wearing faster then rest of tire cause it throws off the Toe in/Toe Out . And u will start hearing a clunk when u hit certain bumps. Get under your truck with wheels straight and grab the center bar and try to turn it up and down. You'll feel the play!

@brianandreasen2200 2 ай бұрын

yep I gotta do these on both sides, plus the new damper and possibly even one more on the upper there right below your lower :) on that passenger side it's going to be SO MUCH FUN OH BOY. The labor you saved from the shop though it makes it worth it :) thanks for the vid

As much as I appreciate you making this video, you didn't show how to remove the tie rod end. Thanks?

@DachsAutos 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Ryan - the tie rod end simply unscrews from the rod itself. Depending on your vehicle, you may have a retainer clamp as well to help keep it in place.

@kwmiked Жыл бұрын

New tires? Those are fine, right to the back, rears go to front. The tq from the diesel will square those off in a month specially towing

@DachsAutos Жыл бұрын

Not feasible to rotate, as this is a dually and you'd have to remount the tires each time on the other rims.

Nah, never! Just an extra ugga-dugga. It was torqued when I had the front-end aligned, so it's all good.

Damn its crazy to see how much the salt from the roads rusts vehicles out. Thank God my F350 has been in Arizona and Southern Nevada its entire life and has very rarely been on salt roads!!

Our spent 5 years in the south, and then 5 years in Minnesota moving horses and stored in the winter. Came to us in 2017 with minimal rust, but it was my daily driver until mid 2019 when it was relegated back to moving our horses, and camper during warm seasons. Amazing how quickly things can progress. I plan on cleaning up the underside and hitting it with rust encapsulator to at least slow down what has started.
