Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 45-90 minutes per side
Instructions:
- Park vehicle on level ground, engage parking brake, and block rear wheels.
- Loosen the front wheel lug nuts slightly, raise the front of the vehicle with a floor jack, and support with jack stands. Remove the wheel.
- Locate the outer tie rod end at the steering knuckle and clean the area to expose the castle nut and threads.
- Mark the position of the existing tie rod end on the inner tie rod or measure the distance from a fixed point to preserve alignment reference.
- Remove the cotter pin (if present) and loosen the castle nut securing the tie rod end to the steering knuckle but do not fully remove yet.
- Use a tie rod end puller or pickle fork to separate the tie rod end from the steering knuckle. Remove the castle nut and withdraw the tie rod end.
- Unthread the tie rod end from the inner tie rod the number of turns noted or until the alignment mark is reached. Count turns if no mark was made.
- Thread the new greaseable outer tie rod end onto the inner tie rod to the recorded position. Ensure right- or left-hand orientation is correct for the side being serviced.
- Insert the tie rod end stud into the steering knuckle, tighten the castle nut to the vehicle manufacturer’s specified torque, and install a new cotter pin if applicable.
- Use a grease gun to lubricate the new fitting until fresh grease appears at the joint, then wipe away excess.
- Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and torque the wheel lug nuts to specification.
- Have a professional alignment performed after installation to ensure proper steering geometry and tire wear.
