How To Replace an Outer Tie Rod End

1. Hey chris thanks for alll great vids .would it work better if you cracked thhe lock nut firrst while everythinng is still tiight . then when you hit wrench to loosen locck nut it wont bounce around

2. Who’s car was that you were working on

3. Damn I was hoping you would show tips for when the tie rod end itself is seized on

4. 7/8 is 17mm

5. good tuturial dir

6. Thank you

7. Will this method work for a Dodge Avenger??

8. ChrisFix, if I am replacing only one outer tie rod, do you recommend going OEM or aftermarket? The other side has OEM

9. Hey Chris, I have a question about the mevotech parts you are using. How are they holding up? I’m looking at getting all 4 control arms from mevotech for my 2000 Chevy blazer . Did they fit properly? Was the quality worth it? I was looking at Moog but they don’t make the heavy duty control arms for my blazer any more. And when I do find some they don’t have all 4.
   But since I’m eyeing mevotech for now I haven’t bothered with Moog much for other then steering components. If you could please answer ASAP that would be amazing because I need to order those today or tomorrow. Also the parts I’m looking to get are the mevotech supreme. Thanks in advance.

10. Mevotech or moog?

11. 1984 toyota corolla after replacing Tie rods and after wheel alignments stering is very hard ,(no power stering)😪what must be the issues ?

12. The youtube comments on mevotech parts are overwhelmingly negative. I am caught between OEM and Mevotech/ Delphi for a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid . Please advice.

13. I remember the first time I changed tie rods (in winter)…. didn't know about using heat… many wasted hours cursing, hammering, and fighting with that inner nut. 

    I'm getting ready to change them on a truck now so I invested the $30 in a propane torch. Not making that mistake again lol.

14. Do you think the tie rod torque specs are for most cars?

15. Do tie rod ends go over? Or under? My corolla has the left end under and the right end over.

16. Your description has two typos, *job should be “jobs” and your vid says outer tie rod but description says the inner tie rod

17. I just replaced the right tie rod on my 07 trailblazer with an OEM AC DELCO part. All went pretty well, nothing really tight. The tie rod would not take grease. I removed the zerk and it flowed grease. I knocked the ball around with a piece of wood and I could see that the ball moved. Guess its too tight to let the grease in. I think it already has grease but found this strange. My plan is to try to grease it again after about 1K miles and maybe it will have enough clearance for the grease to enter. Measured and counted turns and its back exactly like it was.

18. An accident happened and my right side outer rod broke down! I did not have no ideas how to fix ? Chris fix is the best to show by you tube & you are the best! Thank you 😊

19. When I drive my car to 60 to 70 miles per hour, it goes to the left side I took it and did alignment and it was fine for a few days and then it went back again. The car 2011 Honda CR-Z 50,000 mi on it. Could it be the tie rod need to be replaced? Or something else

20. It would be nice if you showed more work being done on 1999 jeep grand cherokee 4.7L…. Thanks, your videos are very helpful.

21. Measure with a pair of calipers before removing and your set, been doing it for years and nvr a problem

22. Do you take off the zerk fitting after installation or can you leave it on?

23. At 3:20
    WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!
    I had a mechanic reeeeen my ass for doing that and it was my wrench

24. i would have counted the revolutions on removing old outer tie rod,or count the threads. that paint pen,is not acurate, at all, sorry, chrissy boy!

25. great video man, really appreciate all the effort you put into making these and that you put links in the description for all of the stuff you use 🙂 keep up the great work!

26. One question about the alignment, you said to mark the old tie rod ( the broken tie rod that is out of allignment probably right? Isnt the new one going to be stretched and stressed too much?

27. I thought you are supposed to see grease start to come out the edges of the tie rod boot to know you put enough in???

28. Hi Chris, I have a question for you. I replace the ball joint on the 2001 e150 Econoline. I thought by doing that, I was going to fix the toe-in tire problem, but it didn't what I should do now?

31. Chris you explain everything so perpect that i do alot of my own repairs.i would like to see you work ok cadillacs more often

32. Good idea sir

33. why is it so rusty under there

34. Mevotech is absolute junk, especially their Supreme X Factor garbage. I did my entire Corolla front=end over in X Factor. I drive almost all smooth highway, and am easy on my cars. Every Mevotech piece wore out to undrivable within, (not after), 1 year. I also installed some Mevotech on my wife's Windstar at around the same time. You guessed it… totally worn out. It's utter poo folks! I called Mevotech to complain. They did nothing for me at all. Never again! I replaced everything with ProForged which lasted for several years after that til I sold the car.

    HERE'S A TIP…. If you go to the auto parts store to get let's say 2 tie rod ends or anything with a ball joint… 1st, don't get China-made if you can help it. 2nd, try to move the ball stud with your fingers. If one of the two moves easier, ask for a tighter one so the one's you leave with are similar. While I'm told by manufacturers this should not make a difference, every time I had a looser one, it ALWAYS failed much sooner than the tight one.

35. The best tutorial video. I learned a lot from this tutorial. now im able to repair my own car and also to share my videos with all you.

36. Is it just me or did anyone rewind a few times to see the boot getting bigger?! Couldnt tell lol

37. Youre a great teacher

38. good video

39. 3:58 every diy knows this sound after finally braking through that bolt.

40. Жаль вы относитесь к машинам как к вещам, не понять нам вас
