I replaced them bc they had over 250k and I was changing out the shocks and cv axels that were bad. They were less than $20 each and I already had an alignment scheduled. I didn’t want to go through all the other work to only have to change them out soon and pay for another alignment. They could have lasted a bit longer. But any issues with them… leaking, noises, etc change them out and get an alignment

Your tie rods look to be in much better shape than mine. It is the same process for my Pilot. So thank you for putting this out for me to see and learn how to do!

It's not required, but I like to do both of them. You need to get an alignment afterwards and they are pretty inexpensive.

My cotter pin didn’t fit. I threaded it after straightening it. Is a single strand. Hope that it holds. Thanks for the video!

Cotter pins are pretty inexpensive, I'm make sure to get one to ensure a proper secure connection. You can get them at lots of locations (like an Ace or big box store) for next to nothing. I’d get a few different thickness to make sure you get one that fits right. I’m not sure why the one it came with didn’t fit right.

@@MCFIXIT the pin fit, The problem was that it seemed the hole was a little high. After torquing to 40lbs the nut partially covered the hole and didn’t allow the pin through.

So if my tierods don’t shake or rattle and no leaks from the boots do i need to change them I’m at 145k now?!

How hard is it to replace the rest of your tie rod (not just the end)?

@MCFIXIT

2 жыл бұрын

Why are you replacing the whole tie rod? If it's because of a boot leak at the rack and pinion. You may need to change the whole rack and pinion out. I need to do this in the near future due the excessive leaking of the grease.

Why did you need to pop the hood?
