Tie Rod Replacement

How are tie rod issues diagnosed?

The technician will check the undercarriage for signs of steering and suspension component failure. If the inner tie rod has any movement in the ball-in-socket joint, or is otherwise physically damaged, it will be considered ruined.
Tie Rod Replacement

How is a tie rod replaced?

On cars or trucks with a steering gearbox, the vehicle will be lifted, and the wheel in question will be removed before turning the steering wheel the complete other direction. Once inner or outer tie rod is exposed, the castle nut will be removed. The tie rod can then be taken off. A wheel alignment will be necessary once the new one is in place. Cars with steering racks are slightly different. The vehicle is raised and stripped of the wheel, outer tie rod, steering rack and inner tie rod dust boot. A special tool is needed to remove the inner tie rod. Other parts may also need to be removed to gain access.

What to look out for when dealing with tie rod issues

After removing the steering rack dust boots, the presence of power steering fluid could indicate a failed seal, and replacement of the steering rack will be recommended.

Can I replace the tie rod myself?

Only someone with a lot of suspension and steering system knowledge should attempt this repair. It's usually best left to professional repair shops.
