Replacing Inner Outer tie rods, step by step/pictures
I did not want to remove the steering rack to replace the inner tie rods or pay the dealer $500 to replace the tie rod ends.
I was looking to see if I wanted tp try to save a few hundred bucks by replacing my inner tie rod ends myself. I couldn't find any info so here we go....
Vehicle: 99 Mitsubishi Galant GTZ with 180K miles
Time for right side is 1.5 hours, left side is 45 min.
Most pictures from one side, there are some photos mixed in from the other side.
The only special tool was a $5 modified crows foot wrench, that I grinded down to fit the inner tie rod. Size 1-1/4" crows foot wrench.
