Instructions:
- Park on a level surface, set the parking brake, and loosen the front wheel lug nuts slightly.
- Raise the vehicle with a jack and secure it on jack stands. Remove the front wheel.
- Locate the outer tie rod end on the steering knuckle and apply penetrating oil to fasteners if needed.
- Loosen the jam nut on the inner tie rod to allow rotation, then remove the castle nut or retaining nut on the outer tie rod end.
- Use a tie rod puller or a hammer to separate the tie rod end from the steering knuckle (avoid damaging the seal).
- Count the number of turns required to unthread the old tie rod end from the inner tie rod or measure the exposed length to maintain alignment settings.
- Unthread the old tie rod end and thread the new tie rod end onto the inner tie rod the same number of turns or to the measured length; tighten the jam nut to hold position.
- Insert the new tie rod end stud into the steering knuckle and install the castle nut or retaining nut. Torque to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification and install a new cotter pin if applicable.
- Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and torque the lug nuts to spec.
- Because this part affects steering alignment, have a professional 2-wheel or 4-wheel alignment performed as soon as possible after installation.
