2010 genesis sedan inner and outer tie rod replacement

okay so for those of you who read the description first
I was replacing my inner and outer tie rod ends along with the rest of the suspension components when I broke that little plastic ring that goes on the inner tie rod( I had a hard time finding a replacement i got lucky my local junkyard had one). I had gotten the actual tool to remove the inner tie rod but as you will soon find out it is actually cheaper and more effective if you use a pipe wrench!!!!!
hope this was helpful feel free to drop any questions down below.

That plastic is probably to help seal off if dirt gets inside

In AZ as well got to change my kids tie rod ends on his 2012 2 door coupe are the 2010 and 2012 the same set up?

@briandyer1864 hey there 👋 I have the sedan version but I just googled the suspension diagram for a 2012 coupe and it does appear to be the same. Here's a tip, count how many rotations it takes to unscrew the tie rod ends so your alignment isn't too far off. A quick string alignment and your good to go. Hope this helps!
