Tie rod removal installation

It looks like the boot is torn . Take a close look at them , if there are any holes in them repace them. Get some PB Blaster and soak the rust on tie rod adjustment nut . This will help to make the job easier. how do you know the tie rod ends are bad ? is there looseness and movement in the end? When you jack up the front is there play there ? If so you are on the right track. Buy the way midwest number is 316-706-1601 I am going to try the email address and see if I can get through . Gary

The drivers side tie rod nut and the threads on the tie rod itself is reverse threads...I learned that one the hard way:stupid:

Buy the way , great picture. Looks like the rest of the underside is clean . I see that you are in Oregon , I am in the ptln area , if you are close I have a couple of " pickle forks'' if you want to borrow one . I have one that works with a air hammer you can use if you have air compresser. There is a pair of tie rod ends on ebay right now for around $40.00 .

actually i live in corvallis, so half a 1/2 a tank is to far to drive, but i already bout the tie rod ends at autozone surprisingly enough they were bout under $25 a piece with life time warranty's so not a bad deal.
