Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 3/5
- Estimated time: 45-90 minutes
Instructions:
- Park on level ground, chock rear wheels, loosen front wheel lug nuts slightly.
- Raise vehicle with a floor jack and support with jack stands; remove the front wheel.
- Measure and record the length or count the turns of the old tie rod to preserve alignment, or measure distance from a fixed reference to the end of the tie rod.
- Loosen the jam nut on the inner tie rod or adjuster sleeve so the outer tie rod can be unthreaded.
- Remove cotter pin (if present) and loosen the castle nut or retaining nut on the tie rod end stud.
- Separate the tie rod end from the steering knuckle using a tie rod puller or a pickle fork; avoid striking the ball stud directly if possible.
- Unscrew the outer tie rod end from the inner tie rod or adjuster sleeve, counting turns or matching the recorded measurement.
- Thread the new outer right-hand tie rod end onto the inner tie rod to the recorded position, then fine-adjust to match alignment if necessary.
- Insert the new tie rod end stud into the steering knuckle, tighten to the manufacturer's torque specification, and secure with a new cotter pin if applicable.
- Tighten the jam nut against the outer tie rod end to lock the adjustment (if used).
- Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, torque wheel lug nuts to specification, and road-test carefully.
- Have a professional wheel alignment performed after installation to ensure proper steering geometry and tire wear prevention.
