[ViolentCop]

[oneprettymommy]

Thanks for this. Besides being very helpful, the end fiasco with the pin had me giggling!! LOL Thanks!!!!!

[This0is0pointless]

[numskull5613]

Helpful, especially in letting me know I need a small hammer for the cotter pin!

[jsakamaster]

[ryeBfireman]

[giannial1985]

My mother's new fusion is setup like that, with the tie rod at the top. My escort has the tie rod setup behind the wheel instead. Just had my inner and outer left and outer right replaced. Had a clunking noise and some wandering.

[tripp333]

Raptorv,I have a 2002 Nissan Alitma 2.5L how do I verify whether the inner or outer tie rods need to be changed?

[SrtRacerBoy]

@tripp333 easy, get your ass down on the ground and look to see which one is loose

[brewpat]

Only problem with this video is he didn't yell out "Fucking shit!" when the cotter pin didn't go in and throw a wrench across the floor.

[adfadfewfrewafawefaw]

thanks for puttin this up!

[orcguanaco]

thanks a lot for the tut it helped a lot... really!! thank you!!!!

[lathel916]

What is that thing call that you used to take out the tie rod.

[DustTHyo]

@lathel916 tie rod puller or separator. pretty straight forward

[kingstonzincfence]

This video should be renamed " How to install a cotter pin" Seriously though, has anyone ever embarked on a job where certain "simple procedures" turned out to be the hardest part of the job?

[mariehansler]

Nice...do you think that it would be relatively the same set up on an 07' PT Cruiser?

[iverson25allen]

Man, you fanagle way better than my dad :D!

[Katlunazul]

Very helpful. Thanks

But god how I always hated how noisy the air rachets are!!!

[lionfiretx]

Air tool. Must be nice.

[PAT911999]

why are u soo out of breath

[billstmaxx]

@PAT911999 i think it's called breathing?

if you don't breathe you may die

[mcbless84]

@PAT911999  he's a fat ass lol... i never saw somebody out of breath by just sitting down

[kgpatrick21]

I just got an outer tie rod replaced on my Grand Marquis at a local rapair shop and I defnitiely got jewed. They charged me $40 for the tie rod itself, then $50 for labor. And I could have done this shit myself for $17 and ten minutes of my time.

[MrBrain28]

Do this M..F don,t have a fucking hammer.

[CrashBandikoot7]

Does anyone know if tie rod ends with servicable grease fittings come pre-greased or do they need to be grease gunned? Thanks.

[radbros69]

let me guess... uve never been laid?

[bcatz454]

Very helpful...THANKS!

[mikeyfinnis]

How can I tell if I am tightening the nut on the ball stud to the recommended torque?

[bassimhm]

use a torque wrench, and try to find out the specs for it on the net, if the nut isnt aligned with the holes for the cotter pin, turn the nut a lil bit more till the pin can get in, by the way that video was very helpful, thanks for uploading

[alaskaman73]

Fuckin' cotter pin!

[msendejas]

nice! thanks for the vid, not i know how to do it!

[orangejulius072]

@nopo2491 "what should i do if i can't count?"

answer:

you should grow up

[MrBrain28]

@orangejulius072 If you do not know to count. Tell Mr count of sesame street to show you. lol lol lol lol.

[orangejulius072]

@MrBrain28 hahaha!

[joelin66]

[devilsbox]

Very cool. Thanks!

[LtSplatter]

nice video but you should have showed us how it fixed the play in the tire rod

[DrTazMage]

Good vid, nice tools, but he could have used a real hammer for the cotter pin. Having the right tools for the right job works wonders :)

[fatbooda]

[nignag08]

very helpful for me.. my tie rod on my avenger just broke

[Swimding]

[midgetsarescary]

GREAT vid  this is what youtube and the internet should be all about people sharing knowledge!

[SaintWilliamIII]

Good video, thank you !

[sxziesj]

that pin took the longest! "_"

[kennethcr]

I changed out the outer tie rod ends on my Ford Taurus this morning (something I was afraid to attempt). It took 20 minutes because I found this tutorial. Thank you!!!

[lejink]

[roswellyeti]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[alex84csb]

[LanceMetal]

awesome

[fusionstar916]

wow.. that 99 chrysler has the steering and suspension system from a car from the 30's

[mjr955201]

raptor,

When you install the new tie rod end, do you want the top of the tie rod to be parallel with the bracket on the strut? I ask because mine are not parallel and off a bit. thanks, great video.

[jasonman1515]

it all depends on the vehicle. some cars need to be parallel and some cars don't.

[TKOxPITCHBlAk]

My intrepid usually has reverse thread when putting a outer tie rod end on, ive done rods on these cars a number of times and never seen any with no reverse thread.

[mlverwys]

Thank you for taking the time to post this helpful video

[orion2ktc]

Excellent video, this will help a lot.

[pinklady705]

Thank you for posting this video. I was told that my outer tie rod needed to be replaced after bringing it in to get checked. Your video makes it look like a pretty easy job that me and my fiance could both do ourselves. Thanks again for saving me money. I also like to do research on parts and replacing things cause I know how auto repair places like to take advantage of girls, and I am anything but gullible or dumb and love to get my hands dirty! :)
