This video will show you how to replace both the inner and outer tie rod for a '00 - '06 Chevy Tahoe. This tie rod design is also used on other GMC trucks and SUV's. The dust boots on both the driver's and passenger side inner tie rods were split with the driver's side showing the most wear. Although not worn out, I decided to replace the outer tire rods as well considering the truck had over 150,000 miles and over 10 years old. A front end alignment was performed after the repair on an alignment machine.

I like how straight forward and to the point this video is

@hardlymovingpro 5 лет назад

Thanks Stephen. We like to keep your videos short, sweet and not waist people's time!

@billdog4242 11 месяцев назад

This is a great video and I appreciate the editing. Now I just got to see if I can replace my tie rods in under 4 minutes.

@hardlymovingpro 11 месяцев назад

Good luck!

@mrreckerres 10 месяцев назад

Agreed

@FixitMys3lf 4 года назад

Thanks for this! This job was cake. I used the giant crescent wrench from Harbor Freight to loosen the inner tie rod. Also, couple of hits with a sledge and the outer tie rod popped right out.

Nice work!

@tbboy6532 5 лет назад

Yes...good straight to the point...I thought I had CV points but had these tie rods...thanks do more suspension videos please

@hardlymovingpro 5 лет назад

Thanks for for your comment and support! We have plenty of suspension videos on this channel for Toyota’s and Honda’s.

@asmongoldsmouth9839 4 года назад

TB Boy - CV joints are part of your front axles (if you have them). Axles are for power to your wheels from the transfer case or differential. If your Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban or Silverado/Sierra is 4WD then it WILL have CV joints/CV axles (front only). Tie rod ends are for steering only.

@laughingbuddha8964 5 лет назад

awesome video. Do you need to torque the castle nut or no? Thanks.

@hardlymovingpro 5 лет назад

Yes. I tighten it down with a socket or box wrench, then apply the final torque where the castle nut grove opens or provides a path to the cotter pin hole. If your part does not come with a castle nut/cotter pin setup, apply around 40lbs of torque should suffice.

@laughingbuddha8964 5 лет назад

ok thank you

@rogermerritt6470 2 года назад

What is your opinion on the outer tie rod not having a zert fitting for grease gun? I order a set and the other one nearest the tire was blank.

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

It's a nice to have but usually not needed with today's grease and boots.

@Christines_Cooking 2 года назад

The replacement procedure of the inner tie rod is correct. However, when torquing suspension pieces such as outer tie rod, upper/ lower ball joint, sway bar link, and other steering linkage. One should always torque to manufacturer specifications while the vehicle is on the ground (all four tires no jacks or jack stands) with the suspension loaded. This ensures proper flexatone and unrestricted travel of the suspension and steering system of the vehicle at normal operation. Remember, you're responsible for your own safety out there. God Bless All!

@g..._anthony27 День назад

For that truck what are the specs, since we are on the topic?

@j.m_trejo9348 4 года назад

Is there a difference in length on the left side tie rod end and the right side?

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

Nope ... but the threads allows for length adjustment during front end alignment.

@andrewcordova8400 3 года назад

Nice! No need for specialty tools! Seems not to bad on tahoes

@hardlymovingpro 3 года назад

Thanks! Have gotten comments from people in the rust belt having difficulty removing rusty nuts and bolts.

@MegaHowtoMan 2 года назад

How tight is the castle nut? Great video.

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

Thanks! Around 35 lbs.

@DraGScxpe 4 года назад

That nut on the inner is giving me problems, damn thing wont budge 😂😂

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

Get yourself an open end wrench that fits on that nut. Position the wrench on a good angle so you can hammer the end of the wrench to jar the nut loose.

@coffeedollsvp 6 месяцев назад

Should length be the same if u just raised it 3 inches..or be adjusted longer or shorter

@hardlymovingpro 6 месяцев назад

Not sure what you mean but you should get a front end alignment after replacing the tie rods.

@NoName-xc4hr 2 года назад

Is the greasing part important? Important enough to buy the part

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

Yes. Prevents the ball and socket from wearing out.

@tomjoad1363 2 года назад

How to they set the wheel right at the alignment shop ? Do they have to undo the tie rod end, revolve it a turn or two, put it back then, measure it again and so on ?

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

The vehicles goes on a alignment machine which measures how much the wheels are out of alignment.

@tomjoad1363 2 года назад

@@hardlymovingpro Ok. But how to they align the wheels? Can they without removing the tie rod end from the hub?

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

The steering wheel is centered and held in place. The wheels are on plates that allows wheel rotation. The plates, working with a LCD display, indicates the wheel's angle of deviation from zero degrees. From that point, the technician turns in or out the inner tie rods to pull or push the wheels to get to zero degrees allowing around 1/2 degree of deviation.

@BriefCarBreakdown 2 года назад

The locking nut on the inner tie rod

@hardlymovingpro 2 года назад

No. The inner tie rod is turned to either push or pull on the outer tie rod to make the adjustment. Once made, the nut is torqued down to hold the adjustment.

@bigmike3310 4 года назад

What is that silver shaft part behind the tire rod mines loose

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

That's called a stabilizer (or sway) bar link.

@Maddog3340 4 года назад

sway bar links

@MasterNeko 4 года назад

2 things, don’t these already come progressed? And what year Tahoe was this?

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

What comes progressed (compressed)? 2004

@MasterNeko 4 года назад

Hardly Moving Productions I meant pre-greased talking about the tie rod ends

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

Yes ... they do come with some lubrication but still need additional grease. A grease fitting is provided allowing you to load the interior of the dust boot with grease after installation.

@chickn211 3 года назад

Am I missing something my outer tie didn’t come with a grease fitting tip what to do there

@hardlymovingpro 3 года назад

Not unusual. It all depends on the manufacturer. Most imports don't have grease fittings.

@mystical_raze3646 4 года назад

Is this the reason why when you go over a speed bump it makes like a squeaky sound, could that be the cause, because there worn out?

@hardlymovingpro 4 года назад

That's a suspension problem ... not a tie rod problem. The squeaking could be worn control arm bushings.

@jessicagraf2063 Год назад

So I cannot for the life of me get this inner tie rod loosen with a crescent wrench I even tried heat and it’s still not budging any advice?

@hardlymovingpro Год назад

The inner attached to the outer or the rack? If the outer, detach the inner from the rack with the outer attached.

@stooneybaby9206 Год назад

Buddy I have a 97 Tahoe and I got some play in the steering wheel but I jacked it up and the tie rod nut was there so I went to tighten it then realized there was no c pin for it😭😭then I went to tighten it cause I have one laying around but the bolt that I was trying to put the nut on kept spinning inside of im guessing the tie rod end? Bolt was loose as could be😂😂imagine a hot dog in a hall way😂all I know is god let me see that before something bad happened😂 damn whole driver side tire would have flew off my Tahoe😭😭

@hardlymovingpro Год назад

By the sound of it, the threads have stripped inside the inner tie rod.
