Thank you so much Sir! this video was very helpful, I will be completing this project on the base this afternoon and wasn't to sure. you have simplified this project in such a major way! Thanks again

Your video was SOOOOO AMAZING. It was very throughly explained. But what really made the video above and beyond supero was how you made the briefs step by step walkthrough of what “we had done”. I loved it. I’m about to do this on my Pontiac GrandAm 2004. Thanks!

Very much appreciated Jim, crystal clear instructions, A pleasure to watch. Im off to change mine now, My neighbours will think im mad rolling around on my icy driveway.

Good job young man, you did a great job with the camra , so many just talk and can't see a thing! I 75 and doing this to my 2003 Merk . Thanks

YOU ARE A VERY GOOD TEACHER, AND YES YOU ARE ALSO EXPLAINED IT IN A RIGHT WAY, THANKS AND THE IS BLESSED.

Excellent explanation. The Best demonstration in the KZfaq. Thank you

Finally found a video with a smart person changing anouter tie rod. Thanks so much!

This channel always has solid and useful info, no BS, straight to the point, and especially like the positive tone which is always there. This was the only video I could find on crimping the washer on the inner tie rod end (and I watched probably a half dozen of OK sources) - Jim showed it & explained it very well. Also kudos for giving options on how you can tackle tasks with handtools vs powertools. Thanks, tie rod ends replaced successfully! Jim the car guy

Jim, Great video. Your explanations are clear and thorough. Your recap (at the end) of what you did is great. Keep up the good work! I am impressed.

I've watched at least 7 videos... This is the most helpful so far. Thank you for saving me $300

Real good explanation very helpful better than others videos. Thanks!!

Great stuff. Learned a lot from your video Mate. Well explained and well executed. Really appreciate🙏

Outstanding video well explained...gonna give this a try ASAP

Thank you for the great instruction.

Thank you for such a detailed video Jim u saved me 400 bucks😊

Thank you! It's a very professional way.

You sir are a born instructor.

This is absolutely the best mechanical video I have seen. Thank you!!!

😂Best explained car repair vides..Thank You Jim.

Thank you. Used your video and rented tie rod tool from parts store. Very straightforward. I had to reuse my ring on the inner tie rod, for 2010 Honda pilot, no other variances. 1 hour start to finish including set up and clean up and taking my time.

Thks , will be doing this exact procedure and alignment after 👍

Beautifully explained. Thank you

Man, this video helps. Thanks for posting this

Thanks for the extensive explanation.

great video, very clear and really helpfull. Many thanks.

Best and most thoroughly explained! Thanks bub

Thanks again Jim for another great video.....

Great work you doing excellent job.

Great video. Thanks for helping me save a few $$$.

Last time, when I found my 04 Accord's power steering was hard to move during the winter morning at the first cold start, I watched your video of changing the o-ring. It took me less than $5 for the new o-ring and 10 minutes to get the job done. No hard steering anymore. This time, I am lucky that I found your video again for the tie rod replacement. The problem of my accord is the vibration feeding back from the accelerate paddle when the vehicle accelerates above 60 mph. The vibration disappears once the vehicle moving at a constant speed, even at 70 mph. The only thing I found is the inner tie rod boot damage with grease outside. I will follow your video to do the job next week and report the results once I have. Thanks for your time for sharing this video as well as others. Wish you a wonderful holiday.

thank you for the video very educational .

So so helpful thank you so much!

Nice video, thank you Jim.

Using an air gun makes the job a lot easier so go for it! You make it look easy Jim.

Great Work 👍🏾✊🏾... I am now checking your other uploads!

This was extremely helpful I really appreciate the video.

Great video with a lot Information!

Great Video! Question why must the spacer on the inner tie rod be punched?

Awesome and helpful video! Thanks!

Everything was done as 'book says' - even washer was bent what I was waiting for ..this is often forgotten as on another guy's video watched few minutes ago..Only 1 thing missed. Proper torque to tight that up..anyway everything was explained so well and aeasily.

Great video!!!😊

Great video and explanation, thank you

This is helpful. Thank You!

Hi Jim how is that work light you use does it blind you because it is bright in all directions. Just want to know before I buy one. Thanks Jim

another great video Jim

Amazing, thank you

Thank you for the video

One of the best described videos of a repair that I've seen. Thanks for sharing your information. I love the prelude describing the diagnosis of the problem (ata 1:35) and then most of the tools that you were going to use (from 1:55 to 2:30), then a quick description of how you will do the work before you actually do it, then you do the work, and then you recap/summarize what you did at the end! Between all those segments you sometimes cover something that was missed in an earlier segment... pretty darn thorough. I am looking to tackle this project on my 2006 Malibu Maxx and I do have a few questions: (1) One of the tools that you didn't really cover, was the one used to remove the "clip/snap ring" at the front of the bellows from 8:45 - 9:35 in the video? It kind of looks like a thick coat hanger with a bent end. (2) At 17:55 to 18:05 you show some kind of stem on the bellows that you say needs to be connected to a hose and at 22:20 you describe this stem as a "vent", but I never saw in the video how that was connected nor how it was removed at 10:35. It just looked like you yanked the belows off without detaching that "vent" without regard for it. (3) At 18:25 to 18:30 there is an inner zip tie that magically appears in the video on the back of the bellows - I think this is the harder of the 2 zip ties to install because it is obscured by the bellows + I think you need to align it over a certain element of the bellows without being able to see exactly whether it is in the right place or not. You have the car jacked up on a pro-lift and I'm sure that is going to be more difficult when I'm lying under the car with 12" of space between the car and the floor!

Awesome video!!

Thanks Jim

it seems like OTC has been kicking the competition in the tool market lately

Sir, you are a good teacher ver detailed!!

Great video. Was wondering and those plastic zip ties. Will they last long?

tnx for d video my question is what f there is leaking on the oil from d rack end , is there posible a repaire o replacement in hw

Great video! what would it cost What would it call to do the outer tires on the 2012 Armada Nissan?? Thank you for sharing these very valuable videos how to do-it-yourself but some of us unfortunately can't do it.

2005 Honda CR-V, my inner tie rod tool is too short to remove the inner tie rod. My CR-V doesn't have big bellow boots (10:40). What size is your tie rod tool or what do I need, Jimthecarguy. Had no problem using my inner tie rod tool on Accord & Civic.

Thank you

Very good Vid once again.

Soo helpful!

Every other video I've seen the guy had a torque wrench for the lock nut and castle nut....but as I suspected snug/wrench tight will get er done!

Well explained

does the 2nd zip tie replace the snap ring you took off?

Could another possibility of a bad inner tie rod show symptoms although mine doesn't come back and forth. I noticed I was able to swing the inner tie rod left to right up and down really easy with no resistance. Can that still mean it's bad?

Good job 👍

Hi Jim, what is the part # of the tie rod remover tool that you used? I couldn’t find it in your Amazon shopping account. Thanks!

What's the length of the punch that you used to hit or close the inner tie rod lock washer? Also, what brand?

Thank you.

Much Mahalo Jim,

What if you can't afford the inner tie rod tool? Are u able to take it off with wrenches?

Smooth you made it

Good video.

How long does it take to replace both sides including the alignment?

good video Jim, what kind of penetrating oil did you use, WD-40?

Jim, I have a 2010 Accord V6 auto. I have a significant side to side shake that comes on at about 55mph. I have new tires (~5 months old), I've had them rebalanced twice. I've also had an alignment. When I first took it to a mechanic, they told me my brakes were bad, so I replaced my all of my brake/rotors. Shake didn't get better. Then they told me it was my CV joints, so I had those replaced and the side to side shake got better for a hot second. It's back in full force, I don't know if it was because my car cooled overnight and didn't feel a shake. I'm at a loss.

I put a new outer tie rods on 03 Honda Accord but the tie rods hit the ram when I turn.. what do I do

great video. I got estimates of from 2,3 Hours for the job. cost- 250.00-400.00! not including alignment.

Thanks man!

How much would you charge if a customer purchased all parts needed to do a job like this? Along side lower control arms

Do you have a video showing how to remove and replace a rack and pinion for a 2002 DOHC Ford Taurus or similar ?

I HAVE A QUESTION MY CAR LEAKS OIL IN THE INNER SIDE BY THE PLASTIC COVER. DO I HAVE TO CHANGE THE RACK IN PINION.

Hello Jim, is it necessary to use lock tight on the inner tie rod end where it connects with the steering rack as long as I peen over the lock washer? Thanks.

why did you hammer press at front and back ? thanks .

wow, I need change all 4 tie rods

Some people install the outer tie rods in from the top like you did (with the castle nut on the bottom) others from underneath (with the castle nut on the top) does it matter as long as the orientation of the steel (the curve is correct?)

What brand of Parts did you use for this job

Thanks

Another great video Jim, thanks so much. Where are you located?

How much can cost me this job including parts en everything

Do you have any recommendations for the brand of the inner and outer tie rod, Honda website or aftermarket? Which one? Mine is 04 Accord.

When these are bad will they leak oil? About to do control arm change thinking of doing this also

How much do shops usually charge for this?

Great How to! But I have a problem with mine, 2001 Honda Prelude SH ordered the Moog Inner Tie Rod (EV800296) it didnt come with lock washer and no indented area either.

I echo the last guy's comments You should be a shop teacher you understand the difference between teaching someone and just saying here's what you do and for that I very much appreciate you

How hard is the same job on a 2000 Monte Carlo?

I just had my right inner tire rod replace. does that mean it was replace on the driver's side or the passenger side?

Ok, I have watched 50 videos on this. I have a 96 Honda and what I have, isn't close to what you guys have.

Is that a otc tool jim

Hi Jim. Thanks for the video. The inner tie rod tool that you've used in your video does not seem to exist in your Amazon store. Can you specify this tool? Also, what was the size of the adaptor on this tool for a Honda? Thanks again.

I was wondering is there any problem to put the castle nut upside down and hit it with a hammer to get the tie rod out? I think that's a better way than hitting the knuckle if I don't have that special tool. But most of the videos on KZfaq don't use that method.

what brand after market tie rod ends do you recommend? and the pinging over part a little hazy,
