I have done this at least 30 times on several vehicles but watching this video refreshed my memory of tips and tricks i have learned over the years. Thanks
My Labor book says this job is 5 hours...... I had to check a youtube video, because I thought it was insane. Its not a tough spot like some fwd cars. Thanks for confirming my suspicion. No need to overcharge customer.
@@thehegtwith the right tools and a little experience I would say around 1 hr each side. It’ll take a bit longer if any nuts are seized from rust, if you have to replace the boot. A tie rod tool is highly recommended. I’m in the process of changing mine out and thought the boots came with the new tie rods…I was mistaken, now I have to wait until Saturday.
I am just seeing this video now, as I am getting ready to do this job on my 2007 santa fe. This is incredibly helpfull. Straight, and to the point. Do you have a video for replacing the controller arms as well?
Any tips for removing the outer tie rod when it’s seized in the inner tie rod? I got the nut loose and got the outer removed from the knuckle but the outer tie rod end is stuck in the inner
getting a wrench on the flat of the inner and heating the outer where it threads on. I'd try that. Heat works good for situations like that most of the time.
I see that there is no stake washer on this tie rod, although there is a spot on the rack for one. Looks like the old one didn't have one either. Strange!

Good video. Clear photography.
Thank you for the video, you have me the confidence for the inner tie rod on a similar model.
Outter are no problem but inner was the first time.

They be lying saying it take a couple of hours which some of these parts do not take that long to do
So how long its took sir ? 2 hours for both side ?

Hi , don’t you need to apply a little grease around ball joints a little bit ?
Not exactly sure what you're asking. Some ball joints are greasable through zerk, others don't take any additional grease.
Thank you for this video Charles ,does it need a wheel alignment right away ,after installation?
It would need an alignment.
thank you. helped a lot!

I would go ahead and remove that outter one too since you already take it all off like that , that used outter tide rod is also look so bad

Same, made me scratch my head a bit. 🤔

Yes
dealership told me they needed to remove the whole steering column
To do tie rod ends? That makes no sense.
