@@AutoFixYT I’m actually in need of some advice. I’m using the same tool as you and ive got the washer lock un done but cannot get tie rod. I’m worried I’m gonna break the steering rack. What do you think ? My shit is rusty af and never been changed i don’t think. It’s a 92

@AutoFixYT Жыл бұрын

If that lock washer is definitely out of the way, then just use a breaker bar and put in all you've got. As a last resort you can heat up the rack where the threads go in hut be VERY careful so you don't overheat the seal that's further down. What I suggest is to turn the steering wheel so the rack is pushed out all the way on the side you're working that way your heat source is the furthest away from the seal. And then once again, give it all you've got. It had to break free eventually.

@AutoFixYT 2 жыл бұрын

Yes I have some videos lined up for the Corolla but haven't filmed them yet. As for cruise control, I know it was an option but many don't have it. You can retro-fit it but it takes way more work than what it's worth in my opinion.

@AutoFixYT Жыл бұрын

Yes I did, they work well and are still just fine to this day! Just make sure you add the grease that comes with them, and that your bellow boot seals up well. Those two things are the key to making it last for a long time.

I can do that at some point in the future. There's no link the exact kind I have because basically made them myself Haha. I bought black housing headlights and then retrofitted projectors in them.

@AutoFixYT Жыл бұрын

Totally understandable. This isn't very much rust actually. If you live in a part of the country that doesn't have salted roads in the winter, then I would understand your point of view. But even if this car was actually very rusty, if it's still in driveable condition, a set of $30 tie rods is cheaper than a whole new car and will get you by for a little longer.
