Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 30-60 minutes per side
Instructions:
- Park on level ground, engage parking brake, and chock rear wheels. Loosen front wheel lug nuts.
- Raise vehicle and support with jack stands. Remove the front wheel to access the tie rod end.
- Locate the outer tie rod end and remove the cotter pin from the castle nut using pliers.
- Loosen and remove the castle nut securing the tie rod end stud to the steering knuckle. Use a tie rod puller or pickle fork to separate the tie rod end from the knuckle.
- Mark the position of the outer tie rod on the threaded inner tie rod (or count the number of turns) to preserve alignment, then loosen the jam/lock nut and unscrew the outer tie rod end.
- Install the new outer tie rod end by threading it onto the inner tie rod to the previously marked position or the same number of turns. Tighten the jam/lock nut against the inner tie rod.
- Insert the tie rod stud into the steering knuckle, install the castle nut and torque to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification. Install a new cotter pin through the castle nut and stud, bending the ends to secure it.
- Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and torque the lug nuts to specification.
- Check steering free-play and perform a test drive. Have a professional wheel alignment performed after installation to ensure proper toe settings and optimal tire wear.
