Introduction
Consider changing both tie rods (right and left) as their wear will be equivalent. Also consider lifting the entire front of the vehicle (right and left wheel) to release the tension in the stabilizer bar.
-
-
Raise the vehicle using a jack
-
Secure the vehicle with jack stands
-
To change the stabilizer bar links, it is necessary to lift the 2 front wheels of the vehicle. This will release the tension in the stabilizer bar.
-
Remove the front wheels
-
-
-
Brush the bolt threads with a wire brush.
-
At this stage you can use penetrating oil and leave it to act, to make disassembly easier.
-
-
-
The bolt is made up of an orifice allowing blocking when loosening the nut (here Allen key)
-
Hold the Allen key firmly while loosening the nut.
-
Do the same for the nut at the bottom.
-
To facilitate disassembly, it is preferable to lift the 2 front wheels of the vehicle (thus releasing the constraints)
-
-
-
Once the nuts are out, all you have to do is remove the billet by releasing the ends.
-
-
-
Install the new connecting rod in the same way you removed the old one.
-
Install the tightening nuts by hand.
-
-
-
On newer models of tie rod, it is necessary to use a Torx key instead of an Allen key, to prevent rotation during tightening.
-
Tighten the nut at the top and bottom while maintaining rotation using a Torx key.
-
-
-
Repeat the same operation on the opposite wheel
-
It is advisable to change the right and left connecting rod at the same time, as they will have almost the same wear.
-
-
-
Reassemble the vehicle's wheels
-
Tighten the wheel bolts
-
Lower the vehicle from the jack stands
-
It is best to change the 2 connecting rods (right and left) because their use will be equivalent. Remember to lift the 2 front wheels of the vehicle to release the tension in the stabilizer bar.
