The easiest way to reposition the tie rod back to it's original position is to count the turns or revolutions when you remove it, then simply count the same number of turns when you reinstall it. Just remember to write down the number of turns so you don't forget.
or mark it with marker
I mark the rod, nut and tie rod end. And count both the turns of the nut and the tie rod, and write both down. Just to be certain it will be on the exact place.
Very good video, thanks for sharing!
I feel like Nick Fury is fixing car😆 Where’s Cap?
Thanks for the video. Very detail~
Good job ! Well narrated !!! 🔧
did i miss the part where you grease the inside of the bellow?
Never seen grease inside the inner power steering rack boot. The boot is there to keep dirt etc. out.
Where is the jack stands you are talking about? I haven't seen em yet...
Exactly what I was thinking, just cut it off
Thank you for the informative film. On my car (2001 Saturn SL2) I counted 20 turns on the passenger side and 18-1/2 on the driver side. Can it be so asymmetrical? Though not much, but still. And another question: Can I apply a Silicon Grease instead of DW-10 on the contact surface of the boot and Inner Tie Rod? I think it is better for rubber. In some films they don't apply anything. Is this grease just for better sliding or for the boot protection as well?
Counting turns works but not accurate because not all t-rod ends are manufactured the same. Getting an alignment is best. However, if you count turns also measure from center of ball socket to where the thread entered the rod and match it on the new end.
@@precision_eg Yes, I know, but thank you for reminding. I plan to go for the alignment to the dealer, but to get there in the best way I want to do a bit of preliminary alignment. I also took geometrical measurements, as you advise. Thank you very much for the replay.
I hate working on tyre rods , waste of time ,, even the oem boots not take long to tear up
Just spent the morning trying to get my tie rod off but I got stuck with the boot...no clip, or anything, but looking at my new tie rod there is clearly a divet where the boot sits snugly, and just could not get it free...Gonna have to go get a spare boot cause I'm cutting this one :/
I counted 16 turns. Just put 16 turns back.
How acurrate would it be counting the turns?
Close but accurate.
Get an alignment. I don't care where you mark it how you measure it. If you break the outer tie rod free it should be aligned. Unless you like buying tires then by all means spend 300$ to save 50$.
