If you are replacing both inner and outer. Its better to remove them in one piece. That way you can measure the same distance when you install the new ones in one piece too. Thats my opinion.

@Oksobasically2 10 ай бұрын

I know its been a year but my truck was a canadian truck before it was mine. Rust like crazy. The way i got my end off was i held the jam nut with a 24mm (15/16”) wrench and put a 22mm wrench on the outer tie rod end itself. Soaked the dogshit out of it with pb blaster, and it came off. Granted, my jam nut was rust welded to the inner tie rod end but alternatively you could hold the inner tie rod with a 16mm wrench and do the same. I hope you got it off. Mine was a bitch.

I just keep the whole tie rod as one unit.. this way you can match the length to new tie rod assembly..turn wheel all the way left so you have better access to remove without taking outer tie rod off the shaft..if you have a hole inside the inner tie rod threads you can fill up the inside threads to pre grease the inner by screwing it back on the shaft..then unscrew & clean the threads add locktite on final install

Its hard to compare to my truck but I hear a small click. I think I have bad shocks and maybe a bad tire as wheel. My steering wheel shakes really bad and wheen I inspected tire it seems to not be 100% round. As i spin tire it goes up and down about 3/8 of an inch.

No need to wonder, I can tell you why if you just ask me. My camera ran out of power and the customer was in a rush to pick up his kids from school so while I recharged the camera to continue to record this video I just so happen to have the camera charging while I torque the inner tie rods. I do deeply apologize for not showing that step. I do attempt to show each step by I was press for time due to my customer bwing in a hurry. I hope you can understand. But thanks for watching this channel.

@tdmmcl1532 26 күн бұрын

no. nope. not good. replacement tie rod ends are not all the same length. counting "turns" ONLY WORKS if you have the length tie rod end. To make positively certain, simply measure the length before pulling the old tie rod end. compare this to the replacement. if they ARE the same, then counting turns will work. alternatively, you can simply screw the tie rod end back to the same threaded positions. Use the locking bolt as your guide, or just look at the non dirty clean threads. IF THE REPLACEMENT IS NOT THE SAME LENGTH, then you have some measurements and some math to perform. I trust everyone has average math skills, like addition and subtraction? lastly, regardless of the method, you will probably still want to get an alignment done. Usually, if you are replacing tie rod ends, means the age of the vehicle is sufficiently old to assume your alignment is off. so even using this "trick" mentioned in this video is not really going to get your wheels aligned. it will simply be putting the geometry back to what it was or close enough to what it was when you reinstall the new tie rod end. And again, that does not mean the wheels are in fact aligned. just get an alignment. Be smart
