1998 Chrysler Concorde/300M/LHS/Intrepid Inner and outer tie rods

[@saintzail2997]

This helped a bunch, so hard to find videos for these type of cars!

[@hungryforknowledge5072]

Thanks so much for putting this out there.

[@CollectvlyUnconsious]

Bit of advice on the adjustment sleeve. Before you pull it hit it with a brief burst of spray paint. You'll be able to see exactly where to put it back to.

[@ismann9148]

I need to do this on my '93 Concorde. Just make sure you don't take both 22mm bolts out at once, from the rack or the rack will slide and you'll need to re-align both of those holes by moving the steering wheel. I got some polyurethane inner bushings and when I did my brakes a couple days ago, I saw the outer bushings were toast too so I ordered those. Sure hope my steering has a lot less slop in it afterwords.

[@testosteroneinc.3800]

I have a 94 LHS. Thanks for this. Subbed😊

+Garrett Martin No problem happy to help!

[@adventuresofdee7859]

I want to say thank for helping me with my tie rod I did everything you did in the video for my 1999 300m

[@MikesRepairs86]

no problem, happy to help!

I have a question my car overheats now. It gets so hot that it bubbles up and I know my fans don't come on is it because of the fans and also my oil light flicks when it starts to over heat

[@MikesRepairs86]

+king Humble sounds like an air pocket possibly. I'd check that the thermostat is opening when at operating temp make sure the system is full and there is no air in the system. Also check the fan fuses and relays and that the fans spin freely, if it all checks out, try pushing 12v to the fans directly to make sure they are working correctly. if they don't kick on replace the fan assembly.

[@MikesRepairs86]

It could be a bad fan or fan controller. The oil light may be flickering because of the excessively hot oil or a bad pressure sensor.

[@adventuresofdee7859]

Ok Found out the fans work but still over heat I bought a new thermostat and water pump I'm putting those in this Sunday but I know I have good head gaskets so that can't be ill keep you updated

[@ObviousToday]

Hi. To do wheel alignment what detail should i wrench? Is it sleeve adjuster or its "mother" (the thing in which adjuster goes in)? If u could make video how to do a alignment it would helpfull)

[@PNWOverlander]

Thanks Mike, sure do appreciate the video.! It helped a bunch. A little different than my 97 intrepid, but still managed to work off your video.

[@MikesRepairs86]

Awesome! Glad to hear my video helped.

[@drake20887]

[@MikesRepairs86]

Good Luck with your project!

[@WeekendWarrior604]

drake20887 how did it go? My '02 needs this 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@derickspivey414]

On my 96 chrysler lhs having trouble getting one bolt started for tire rod to rack and pinion any suggestions

[@noelherrera1785]

Hey Mike you got the price and link for the website???

[@roncipriano8364]

Excellent Job 👌 Bing bang boom it's Done ! Thanks so much I'm a Fan ! Hahaha I will have every socket ready never before on a First time project . Thanks Again

[@tonywiggins8073]

Nice vid. I think the inner rod bushing to the gear mount is 60ft Lbs and 40ft Lbs for the outer tie rod. Did you mix them up? I did my 2000 LHS and it was a pain... Before I let a shop do it for almost $300 with lifetime parts. They only did one side and didn't put the inner washer on the passenger side. About 1 1/2 year the bushing came apart. So I called the shop and ask them how much to replace it... they told me $252. Soooo did it myself & done it right this time....

[@MikesRepairs86]

Good job! Hope my video helped you along the way.

[@percypaz9516]

i installed one of those racks in my mustang 69' ( i've seen in forums that they use that kind of rack to do the steering convertion). i have an issue..i thought that the steering play was because of those bushings, but when i replaced them, the inner tie rods, where it attaches to the rack, where the two bolts attach them, has play.. you can see the bolts moving up and down, like the piston inside was moving on its axis..idk if you understand what i'm trying to say..

[@revwroth3698]

These racks suck. I've had to replace the inner tie rod anchors twice in the past year and both times it's been because they let go while I was driving. It's like the cvts they're using these days: sounds great for a go kart but keep it the hell away from my adult vehicles.

[@RobPGamerVaper]

Hey I know this Video was from 3 years ago But was wondering if you could tell me how you Bent your inner Tie Rod Tabs back in place ? I have recently done mine But I could not fully get them bent over the Bolts. They seem to be fine the way they are but it bothers me that they are not right.

[@MikesRepairs86]

Super long screw driver and a hammer

[@RobPGamerVaper]

Really? Cause thats what I used. Maybey the new tabs are stronger ? I got Moog

[@MikesRepairs86]

Could always try a punch or a long cold chisel or a long impact bit out of the impact hammer.

[@revwroth3698]

This is extremely important, those stupid tabs are the only thing keeping your tie rod anchors from backing out while you're driving! I've had TWO let go on me when I was driving and now I recommend that you put loctite on the threads, and after you fold the tabs over take it to a freaking welder and have them put a couple of spot welds on the bolt heads. This is the stupidest design I've ever seen for a locking bolt. What was wrong with the old castle nuts, except for trying to get the pin out when it's caked in mud and you just broke your pliers?

[@dwaynenewton1]

I know it's been a long time but I'll leave my method here for viewers. Use a large pair of channel locks. I start wide enough to squeeze the tabs a little then go to the next channel and squeeze some more if may sound a little fussy but it works better than anything else I might have tried.

[@bemartythree6589]

Hi Mike I have 99 LHS 3.5, do you know where the oxygen sensors are located and how easy to get to?? From what I understand I need four of them.

[@MikesRepairs86]

There is one on each manifold on each side of the engine and one after the catalytic converter on each exhaust bank, should be that bad to remove them.

[@bemartythree6589]

MB: Do I need to take off a bunch of stuff from the top of the engine or the bottom of the engine, is this something I can do rather easily without much disassembly?

[@walterl1537]

hello sir do you have a video of the same car buy doing a rack an pinion?

[@MikesRepairs86]

+Walter L sorry i do not after both sets of tie rods are rrmoved though if memory serves me right theres on 4 more 18mm bolts 2 on each side of the rack and thr whole thing comes loose.

[@river86012]

Good video!

[@MikesRepairs86]

Thanks for the support

[@cowboyPinoy1969]

damm that alot of work i just did my 1995 chrysler concord sterring rod bushing

[@toddweimer7976]

Is this car front wheel drive?

[@MikesRepairs86]

Yup it's a 1998 Chrysler Concorde

[@thejoyy9374]

Why is my wheels too tight to turn

[@MikesRepairs86]

If its after doing the tie rod ends, more than likely something is binding, fastened incorrectly. Look for rubbing while some one turns the wheel would be my first recommendation.

[@revwroth3698]

Those tabbed retainer plates are BULLSHIT! I have had two of them let go while I was driving a 300m in the past year. I replaced EVERYTHING just like you did and then some, and the stupid tabs bent back out, the anchor bolts started loosening, and the slack that created caused BOTH of them to shear clean off while I was driving the day before yesterday. Both bolts broke off in the rack so now I have to take it out to get the busted tips out. I HATE this car now.

[@MikesRepairs86]

My brother hated it as well, got rid of it a few years ago.

[@858941]

Hello Mike! Question why dont you show the actual installation of the part you say what you wanna do but stop just before the actual installation you leave me hanging on how actually you installed it or how you remove any of the bolts next time show everything other than that your good! victor

[@MikesRepairs86]

The install is the exact opposite of the removal, no surprises that I found. Sorry I couldn't show the install, my customer needed their car back to get it to an alignment shop before they closed that same day.

[@nathanwright845]

Seems like he took off way to much stuff like the brake calipers why?? Other videos they never removed that stuff nor any of the wiper arms seems like he took way to much stuff off imo

[@MikesRepairs86]

I was coincidentally doing the brakes before I started this repair.

[@nathanwright845]

@@MikesRepairs86 I wasn't hating just thought I'd make sure all that was not needed and I got it all together and back on the road!! Thanks
