    It’s inaccurate and too imprecise to count the number of turns when removing the outer tie rod. It’s much more accurate to measure from the center of the tie rod end and a self-made mark on the tie rod itself. Since Chris is replacing both the inner tie rod and the outer, he would want to measure from the rack and pinion housing out to the center of the outer tie rod end before removal. Yes, he is going to get an alignment right afterwards, but I have seen different tie rod end lengths. This can render the car undrivable if using the turn count method.

    Chris, tonight or tomorrow morning I will be changing my outer tie rod ends on my 2007 Nissan Murano. I feel very confident doing this because of your video. I’ve always been super mechanically inclined and love DIY jobs. I originally was going to take my vehicle to a shop. When it comes to steering I have not attempted anything prior. I looked up how to check if a tie rod is bad an discovered you and your vids. I am incredibly impressed with how instructive and thorough you are. Because of your instruction is why I’m going to change these out myself with complete confidence. My driver side outer rod is sooooo loose one can lightly hold onto the bellow and spin the rod. CRAZY. I will comment as to how the job went. Thank you, Chris!

    The tool costs $100 to rent, but you get the money back when you return the part (ask them and make sure this is their policy). I would rent the tool and see if it fits. You dont need to take anything of except the bellows boot and just slide the tool on top of the tie rod and see if it fits. It should fit, the kits come with different size attachments.

    I've replaced at least a dozen tie-rod ends. I've NEVER had one that would come out with a rubber mallet. I've always used a mini sledge hammer, and hit the spindle from the side. Usually 3 good wacks will pop it out. Also, instead of counting turns, I pull the inner and outer off intact and measure the distance from grease fitting to fitting. Then make sure the newly assembled unit is the same.

    Thank you for your easy to follow instructions. I’m the type of person that needs to know how something works to know how to fix it. You do a good job of explaining the mechanics of a part as you show how to replace it. The close ups help a lot. My ex was an auto mechanic but I never paid attention to what he did when he fixed stuff. I wish I had but now I can do basic fixes. This looks doable for my skill set. I think this is the issue on my CRV. Front end makes a horrible clunking sound when going over bumps, turning sometimes, and braking hard. It started when we were out on a very bumpy rocky road. At almost 300k miles I’m not surprised lol.

I would have cut off the excess to match the original length of the old tie rod and THEN turned the new end on 20 twists (turns) !!!!!. ♿ 🇱🇷

    Shirke M You only use red loctite if you do not have those pins that hold it in place. I have pins that prevent it from loosening so the blue loctite is used as extra protection from loosening due to vibration. If your tie rod doesnt have a pin to prevent it from unscrewing, then you might consider using red (permanent) loctite.

    Great video, excellent work. It looks like you used Lok-Tite 242. There are many variations of this material for all types of applications. The 242 version will not cure and function if used in an application subject to come in contact with oil or grease, 243 is a better choice as it is not affected by oil or grease contact and will cure properly and has the same strength rating. I worked in an assembly plant and we used a variety of these products in a sparingly manner. Some versions are permanent, almost like welding and requires the use of heat to break the bond. This material does have a shelf life and will lose its effectiveness sitting on the shelf for too long. Just a bit of info on these great products and their many uses.

This is a lot easier than I was led to believe from my mechanic friends, who said it was the worst job to do when it came to basic suspension maintenance. I enjoy the helpful tips throughout also, it allows me to get an insight into what the hell is under my car because I never did the whole mechanic thing. Thanks for the video
