This video is very helpful. I'm going to be replacing my inner rod which was bent after going over an unseen strip of concrete added to a parking space. When do next week I'll update.
My mazda 3 put me through this same process. At first thought it was just my ball joint, ended up having to just replace everything aside from Axle. I suggest that anyone who has to change a piece of their suspension on a Mazda to just order all the components. Also, I would strongly recommend that you order new bolts just in case, for some reason control arm bolts rust very easily and they might need to be special ordered...
I'm watching this video after the control arms replacement instead of sleeping because in roughly 6 hours, I'll be replacing the entire front axle (I think that is the propper translation to english of "tren delantero" in Spanish) on my Mazda 5. The thing is, I told my dad that he can be around, but I'll do everything unless I truly need help in something. 😶🌫️
I am struggling to see how that inner tie rod could even fail. It is a metal rod with threads on both ends? Can someone please help explain how they fail?

Did replacing inner tie rods fix issue?
This is gold
Would be nice if you can give us an update was it the inner tie rods or the rack and pinion?
Where in the harbor freight world did you buy that wrench?😂

Did this fix it or was it the rack?
Nicely done
