      Note to anyone reading this:
      Be careful on the torque specs, as every car chassis is different. For example, 25ft-lbs is not even close to enough for German cars. My Mercedes has those ball joints/nuts torqued to 38 ft-lbs and then 90 degrees beyond that (ends up being about 105 ft-lbs, which is 4 times the 25 you used).

    Pre-greased outer tie rods, I suppose? (Many come without that step completed prior to purchase/ delivery; we must install grease fitting, then grease after install with flexible fitting on grease gun, with properly rated grease.)
    Hope this helps also, and be well

    • @jimh.412
      @jimh.412 23 дня назад

      Many don't have grease fittings so they come from the factory with grease in them.

    I've been having alignment issues with my 98 mustang cobra. I thought it could be the inner tie rods and yesterday when I was leaving work, I turned and heard clunking sound from the right front and pretty much confirmed it.

      @PompeyMatt17 11 месяцев назад +1

      as long as it's aligned at the shop, nothing, but if one's worn sure enough the other won't be far behind..best do both at once

    • @jjmccloud
      @jjmccloud 6 месяцев назад

      If you can't afford to do both or something and both aren't bad then nothing but its just more practical to do both together. They wear at a similar rate ,when 1 goes it won't be long before the other does but worst case is you basically do the job twice if not changing them together, it's not gonna cause any issues if you dont assuming the other isn't bad of course

    I changed a outer tie rod end today. I took off the castle nut, put it back on. Hit with a hammer. Came off. I had a very difficult time getting the castle nut back off and the shaft kept spinning. I did finally get it off and replaced with a lot of cussing. Next time, I won't put the castle nut back to hit. Hit it anyway. I'm replacing it.

    I am having these problems and it is driving me insane. One sign of it is when making a turn it does not feel smooth. That is because you are noticing excessive movement in the joint. It even causes a problem in some turns where if is slippery you are a lot more likely to loose control because of this unexpected movement. But tie rods are also dangerous if they ever come apart since you will have no control over your vehicle. I just pray it does not happen on a busy road or highway because it will be a very bad scene!! It can be enough to make someone want to trade the vehicle in if enough shops fail to diagnose it since it is really annoying and also potentially extremely dangerous! Personally I would have gotten rid of it a month ago if people I know didn't persuade me not to. There is no excuse for a problem like this to go unnoticed by 3 shops and even a dealer for that make of vehicle. It is just plain 100% absurd to me!! I am going to the dealer in a couple of days for a diagnosis on those. I am really just nearly ready to just change the parts. I can't take this any more! It is messing with my sanity and putting me and people near me on the road in very serious danger, especially those ones who tailgate or seem to lo stay next to you or hide in your blind spots. When it comes to them I am thinking don't these people have something better to do or they just hoping to be nearby when the tie rod lets loose! I would like to tell them one thing, be careful what you wish for!! It distracts me from trying to notice symptoms and think of what in the heck may be causing them. I am no mechanic but I do have a good idea how a lot of vehicle parts work. It is not like you need a doctorate to be able to figure these things out!!

  • @joebourke1018

    I ordered the inner tie rod, and the ones I received are shorter than the original. passenger side took 17 turns to take off and 16 on driver side. Assembling back the passenger side took 15 turns, and driver side is only 10 is that safe?

    • @joebourke1018
      @joebourke1018 Год назад

      That was the tie rod ends I was referring to that took 17&16 turns to take off, and 15&10 turns to put on the tie rod ends.

    I borrowed the very same tie rod tool from Oreillys and it couldn’t hold it. It couldn’t hold it to get it off . It kept slipping. Read all the instructions and used the wrench end that was closest to size . Still couldn’t get a grip kept skipping. Yeah I locked it in

      I have learned to ‘start the job’ about a week before! Do the lube thing, as a pre-lube ie it’s best to even speculatively lube a bit around all suspension threads with grease, whenever you take the wheels off. My mechanic says it’s a bit amateur to have grease everywhere…totally agree, any professional lets it rust up ready to need de-seized next time! No, fair do’s, that’s a reasonable perspective when you don’t own the car. However, owning the car, I told my mechanic: ‘Thing is, I’ve never had something I greased-over, fall off or unscrew. What I HAVE had repeatedly, is un-greased stuff, refuse to come apart without terrible hammering and ruined threads, and nuts that have rusted to one size down in size’…ie a 16mm turns into a 15mm in practice, and rust has no strength if you try to spanner on it, it crumbles as we all know. This pre-emptive lubrication/pre-greasing, works for me quite well. If you don’t want to do it, that’s fine too. Take care all. [Edit: the best grease, might be thick hi-temp brake grease, for this pre-lubing approach. It’s so claggy it hardly ever comes off, or flows where it shouldn’t. And, when heated, the oils in it come out, but my experience is, this wicks directly into the threads of the joint/fastener etc. I’ve used both ordinary grease and hi-temp brake grease, without an issue, for pre-greasing. Take care.]

    You didn't grease the new inner tie rod end joint, before putting the boot back on. And what grease was on it already !? Yellow grease? I would be making sure its a lithium molybdenum grease.
