Subject: tie rod replacement
IP: Logged

Message:
a few months back i took my truck to get the alignment done and found out that my drivers side tie rod was worn out. they told me that they would replace it for $250. i went to advanced and bought a new tie rod for $26 and i just havent had the time to replace it yet. i was wandering if anyone had done this before and if there is anything that i should know before i get started. i looked at it and i am going to have to take the boot off to get to the large bolt and i was wandering if anyone had any tips on how to do this. any help would be greatly appreciated.

piece of cake!!!!took me about 15min.from start to finish. just count the threads and or measure the distance between the adjusting nut and the end of the rod before you take it off......get front end aligned.
