I’m looking to do this job today and I can honestly say I have trawled RUclips and this is by far the best tutorial video out there keep up the good work 👍
Love this so much! Watching this over and over during different days leading up to the repair. Thank you so much for making this video. God Bless you. Love how simple, straight forward, and calm this is.
@@TutorialGenius Driver's side is complete! Thank you to YOU. ^(^_^)^ I am so grateful to you. Working the passenger side tomorrow. Super grateful to you.
Is the direction of the locking nut the same on both sides of the car drive/pass? Looks like spins free towards the back of the car. Awesome Instructional videos by the way
...I think you may have to see by doing. Completed the driver's side last Tuesday and I am doing the passenger side today. I will see if I can remember once complete...
Hi There :) Sorry to bug... What Torque/ how many pounds of pressure would you recommend for the inner tire rod? I have searched all over the internet and vehicle forums and am not finding a recommended torque. Also looked through the 2006 Saturn Vue Manual. What do you recommend?
Hi sir, I have replaced the inner and outer tire rod, lower control arm and bushings, (2) motor mounts and the transmission mount on my 2007 saturn vue, but my passenger front tire still continues to vibrate during acceleration from a complete stop. Do you have any others suggestions on any other part that may need to replace to correct the vibration. Thanks, and your videos are awesome
wow! It looks like you've pretty much replaced everything there! How are your struts (and strut mounts)? Do they creak or ''pop' with turning the wheel from side to side? Does it return to normal position with a bounce test on the front end? I made a video on struts, the start of the video shows various ways to test them before replacing. Do you have uneven tire wear? Was the car involved in a collision previously? (bent subframe etc)... Do the wheels all match? Do you have a bent rim? (I have a video on that too). Have you rotated the wheels and re-check for problems there?
@@TutorialGenius Oh I have the same question. We are using the Tire Rod removal tool and when placing the inner tire rode securely in place... I turned the torque wrench as hard as I could twice but I am a 120 lb. girl and know my limits... curious how hard we have to secure the inner tire rod in place for safety.
@@conklinstreet2151 Oh THANK YOU! I was looking for this... I did the replacement on the driver's side and turned the torque wrench linked to the Tire Rod Removal Tool as hard as I could 2 times on the inner tire rod to secure it in there... Do you think that's enough? I am 120lb-130 (not sure) female and curl 25 lbs... not super strong but decent... Want to make sure I locked it in there enough. I live near winding roads with cliffs so this is a rather large concern. Any wisdom is welcome. Thank you.
@@lotsoflove557 an axle nut is around 150ft/lb, and that's usually close to an average persons full human effort. Depends on the car, if you have the exact same motor as the person here at 58ft/lbs, then full effort is too much for an inner tie rod at 58ft/lb, you'll risk damage to a very inaccessible area :) and leave yourself trouble in the long run. A persons weight and strength doesn't have any bearing when reading a torque wrench. We just need to know what the torque wrench says. That is its job. If you did it as hard as you could and it read 75ft/lbs, then its exactly that. You are using a toque wrench like a normal wrench, which defeats its purpose. It's actually quite rare for an inner tie rod to unscrew while driving. Sometimes its impossible. (Take a step back for a moment and look at the parts and how they are constructed and how they fit together). It depends on the replacement part and the vehicle year make and model.

I have to do the same thing on my 09 Saturn... thanks for this good video
Fantastic video! This is the same process for Antaras and Captivas if someone asks!
Amazing video! Well done brother.
Thank you. Excellent 👍

CV axle or half shaft/carrier bearing.
Thanks G
No problem! :)
Is there a torque spec. For inner tie rod?
@@TutorialGenius I found it is 58 pound feet. This is a 2004 saturn ion USA market. Thanks anyway. Your video is great.
