Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 45-90 minutes
Instructions:
- Park on level ground, engage parking brake, and loosen front wheel lug nuts slightly.
- Raise the vehicle with a floor jack and secure it on jack stands. Remove the front wheel.
- Locate the outer left tie rod end. Mark the position of the jam nut and count the number of exposed threads or mark the end of the inner tie rod so reassembly retains approximate toe setting.
- Remove the cotter pin (if present) from the castle nut on the tie rod end and loosen/remove the nut with an appropriate socket or wrench.
- Use a tie rod end puller or pickle fork to separate the tie rod end from the steering knuckle. Avoid striking the steering knuckle directly to prevent damage.
- Loosen the jam nut and unscrew the old outer tie rod end from the inner tie rod, counting turns or using your marks to match the original position.
- Thread the new left-hand outer tie rod end onto the inner tie rod to the marked position. Hand-tighten the jam nut against the tie rod end.
- Insert the tie rod stud into the steering knuckle and tighten the castle nut to the manufacturer's specified torque. Install a new cotter pin if required.
- Tighten the jam nut to secure the assembly, and grease the joint if the new part has a grease fitting.
- Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and torque the wheel lug nuts to specification.
- Because minor toe changes can occur, have a professional wheel alignment performed after replacement to ensure proper tire wear and handling.
