Are you getting ready to replace either the inner or outer tie rod on your car or truck? Be prepared to head off some headaches, and replace them both as a set instead! In this video, Len points out some of the things that could go wrong if you want to replace just an inner or outer tie rod alone, and why it just might make sense to replace them both together at the same time! Tie rods keep your wheels connected to the steering rack, so this is definitely a job you don't want to do half way!

Unfortunately because of my ignorance I only replaced the outer tie rod. A few months after the alignment I found that my wheel/s wiggle causing my car to swerve and there's a lot of play in my steering wheel and I am now replacing the inner tie rod to solve this issue. Great video.

@baljeetd Год назад

Len always has a great vibe!! 😁

@rawbebaba Год назад

While you can mark where the tie rod was, and count the amount of rotations, the reason you would want to replace them in pairs is because you're going to want to get an alignment, and why pay for two separate alignments, because guess what? Your other tie rod end link probably isn't very far from needing replacement either

I actually loved this video and the individual! He was humorous and most important he hit the problems that you are most likely to experience with the job. I dislike videos that don’t show the potential issues and make it look like magic when it usually isn’t the case lol.

WARNING! Do not EVER heat a ball joint or tie rod end with a torch! My father almost died from it. The grease inside vaporizes and when the retaining ring fails, it blows up like a shotgun. It was red hot and went through his right eye and lodged in his head for 4 hours......burning until they were able to remove it.

@jfrison6787 Год назад

Man I appreciate You Guys! And all the info you give

@keithwatson8228 Год назад

In my experience personally, you need to change all your front end parts at the same time. Including tie rods inner and outer, ball joints upper and lower, hitting on an alarm if you have those.

@richardstone5241 Год назад

Good solid information! And, use anti-seize!!! By the way, I have learned from experience to replace both SIDES at the same time.

@YTC518 Год назад

Great Video as always man! love the thorough knowledge you possess and the humorous way you explain it all! Thanks guy for what you do.😁👍👍🙏🙏🙏

@wadeshull8227 6 месяцев назад

you dont want to separate them if you are replacing both. you can put your new ones together next to the old ones getting the measurement exact....

@jmackinjersey1 Год назад

Typically, if the outer is bad, the inner will be as well, and if it is not bad at this point in time, it will be bad in a short amount of time. So, save some time and go ahead and change both, the inner and outer while you are in there. It should also be a good idea to change both left and right assemblies for the same reasons you mentioned and I also added to. After all, your suspension really is the hardest working parts on the vehicle.

@michael184272 Год назад

Very interesting and informative.. thanks for sharing

@coolisloper44 Год назад

you guys make the best vids

@mph5896 Год назад

Crusty parts like that, I wire wheel whatever I am planning on taking apart first. That way you aren't running the nuts over rusty garbage.

Don't wirewheel anything near the brakes...that brake dust is toxic. Bet you already knew that. 😉

This is how my outer tie rod job on Acura goes from $200 parts to $600 (inner and outer parts only).

@mayeri3083 Год назад

Just what I needed to replace. Was actually thinking to do just the inner. But I might just end up doing it all after this video. Thanks. Solid stuff. Great content. I enjoyed watching, great sense of humor.

@Vineyard_Edge Год назад

Great video. thanks! My 18 y/o Dodge Grand Caravan is running great, but I need to change the entire suspension out. Going to check your prices out although quality matters the most to me.

@enriquelopez9124 Год назад

thanx bro thats was the problem loose tie rod from hitting it out the socket

@jameslippert3523 Год назад

Good video!!

@randyduncan795 9 месяцев назад

Agreed. Not only replacing outer and inner but doing so on both sides. With 260K miles on the original Toyota parts I bought OEM parts for another quarter million. Bought new boots, too. For $15 why not? And new sway bar links. The originals have been making intermittent noise on certain bumps for at least 10K. I'll take it apart once, fix it once, and get it aligned once.

@kraigsowells7685 Год назад

I have a question. Is the tie rod end (outer) the same size on both ends on a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500?

@killshot2333 Год назад

Where did you get this vehicle from the bottom of the ocean 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@TheCreateOutdoors Год назад

I mean they are from New England, that's all the information you could ever need.

@superspecialty5169 Год назад

I always leave the nut on backed off some what to protect the male threads on the tie-rod! All these stuck/difficult removal videos are due to improper installation?

@principeazul1694 Год назад

Your video or amazing. Very informative and detailed. But don’t take this the wrong way. Comedy is not for you. Lol😂. But you can’t get better at something if you don’t try too. thanks for all the new video you make and for the knowledge that I’ve learn from your channel.

@tomyj.4164 Год назад

Thanks

@mr.carguy3161 7 месяцев назад

So, what if the outer tie rod won’t come off the inner? Even with heat? (I loosened the jam nut) AND holding the inner tie rod with vice grips - on the hex area - strips it?

@carolallen8456 Год назад

Ur awesome!!

@4142Wilb 2 месяца назад

What, if any, is the torque specs for the inner tie rod after replacing it?

@johnmcminn9455 9 месяцев назад

Just replace both I did on a 2004 corolla I used the same boot because the new ones were too "new" to get on there!

@Ben_Lorentz 7 месяцев назад

I had bad inner tie rods so I replaced the inners and the outers because...why not?

@barryalan4069 Год назад

What do you do if the inner tie rod is leaking fluid?

@stanionman8178 Месяц назад

Just relace both parts, doesn't cost that much more, and guarantees you won't need to go through the whole process again when the other one needs replacing, plus no need to worry about damaging the joint getting it off !

@gruvygraphics9984 Месяц назад

I see everybody screwing the outer rod off by hand but it doesn't screw off that easily. how did you break it?

@dudefromkeene 2 месяца назад

Not only all the things you mentioned but you also need an alignment after. I know you said it but it was an after thought. An alignment requires you to take off work to take it some where and costa $70+ dollars to have done

@hard-to-handle 5 месяцев назад

Can't really afford both sides do I really have to change left an right side because just the right side is messed up

@BrianRox Месяц назад

so I came inside because I have the weight of the front of the truck sitting on the tie rod bolt because it wont pop off.... trying to figure out how to remove it.

@erikramos3188 5 месяцев назад

Mine is stuck .so how do you take it off without heat

@ghhtdesfh Год назад

1A Auto!

@josta59 Год назад

The way Len's videos are trending, eventually he'll tell us to just replace all the parts at once, i.e., the whole vehicle. Then we won't need 1A Auto at all!

@cpu64 Год назад

I need to figure out what seems loose under my van, it sounds like every part connected together is loose and the whole front rattles while driving on bumpy roads and parking in driveways

@Vineyard_Edge Год назад

My van makes a few rattles too and I had it checked on by multiple shops that didn't see anything. It's 18 now with 156k miles. Going to change all of the suspension out.

@udokee7409 Год назад

Same here. Looks like one of my struts leaked out. My inner and out tie rod ends seems loose, easy to twist by hand. Maybe mounts, who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

@johnmcminn9455 9 месяцев назад

But will a torch really fully loosen a bolt bloated with rust?

@knosh1 5 месяцев назад

Is there is litle movment in tie rode end .???

@enriquelopez9124 Год назад

The 2014 Hyundai Elantra still has the original parts from when it was built.and it has 97,738 miles on the clock.

@Just_Joshing024 6 месяцев назад

Im a broke ass college students and just decided to replace the outer tie rods only for $40 drives great, clunking is gone, just waiting until the whole steering rack gets worse and i have enough money to replace the whole thing.

@seymursarkarov Год назад

Some inner tie rods are irreplaceable, they (OEM) unfortunately coming only together with steering rack set

@chadlane9602 Год назад

How do you know if the inner tie rods are bad too

@udokee7409 Год назад

No one knows apparently

@ivansantos5435 Год назад

Any one can recommend me the quality of this parts

@DashCamSerbia Год назад

You didn't show how to remove the inner tie rod end. :I

@lopincol Год назад

Parts are cheap. Why not replace the whole kit. I never understood

@arnoldm889 Год назад

Did Len finally learn how to say veHicle. I always got a kick when he said veRicle.

@chuckrafiki8649 9 месяцев назад

You could use some rust remover gell and clean up the threads by the jam nut and then use a wire brush, then use some thread losoener spray, if after ll that you might use heat but using it initially is just laziness.

@1AAuto 9 месяцев назад

+chuck rafiki Thanks for the feedback!

@lawrencemeyers1212 Год назад

Replace it in pairs that way u don't have to go back in

@vincentlee2460 Год назад

Never use zipties to secure the steering rubber boot. Ask me why

@kisspeteristvan 2 месяца назад

this is a bit of an extreme example , but if we were to change full sets all the time , we'd be shedding 1000's of euros every year , every 6 months . +1000's for the labour . No one will rebuild it's car , there is no point in burning 10-20k in a few years . Some parts have to be changed in pairs ok , but not everything .
