Glad the video was helpful!

An Excellent Demonstration. Thank you

[@AutoFixYT]

Thanks!

[@rcman6895]

I have to say one thing about your video congratulations your vet your video shows everything into details most videos on KZbin don't show a lot of details it's important that you do show details and you've done just that most people to come up here have never done this before so details are important I am one of them never done an inner tie rod end before so details are very very important to me that I can see everything in details and hear everything great video good stuff man thanks for the video

[@AutoFixYT]

Thank you!

[@bjusticeforever]

I appreciate your video! I was going to replace the entire rack because my inner tie rods were wore out, but I'll simply get the inner rods and bellows kits. Thanks again!

[@AutoFixYT]

Yes, no need to replace the whole rack unless it's damaged or leaking! I'm glad the video was helpful!

[@superseriousreviews1168]

Just in time!!! I was planning on ordering all new tie rods for my Corolla because it had some play going on. Awesome, thanks again! You really make some great content.

[@AutoFixYT]

Thanks! Glad I could help! And good luck with your repair!

[@leoandhannah123456]

Haha I've def forgotten to remove the jam nut prior to removal of boot from rack. Also I loved the shot when you were bonking the knuckle. The stuff flying off was a cool shot. Keep up the amazing work. I learn something from each of your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Very knowledgeable and concise.

[@AutoFixYT]

Thanks! And thanks for watching! As for the part where I forgot the jam nut... I've heard rumors that it's a condition called Lenitus... when you forget to do things or you forget where you literally just put things... but it's not an official thing. Just a thing I've heard.

[@gavriliadis]

I started watching your videos cause of the light bulbs and now this part. You are doing amazing job, explanations in detail, or at least as much as I personally need. Plus your description where you are attaching some links, tools or parts(sizes, models etc) are very helpful also Thank you for your effort, you are doing some amazing stuff. I am supporting you. Thank you very much ^^ Keep up, thank you ^^

Thank you very much! I'm glad the content and all the little details are helpful!

@@AutoFixYT I’m actually in need of some advice. I’m using the same tool as you and ive got the washer lock un done but cannot get tie rod. I’m worried I’m gonna break the steering rack. What do you think ? My shit is rusty af and never been changed i don’t think. It’s a 92

[@AutoFixYT]

If that lock washer is definitely out of the way, then just use a breaker bar and put in all you've got. As a last resort you can heat up the rack where the threads go in hut be VERY careful so you don't overheat the seal that's further down. What I suggest is to turn the steering wheel so the rack is pushed out all the way on the side you're working that way your heat source is the furthest away from the seal. And then once again, give it all you've got. It had to break free eventually.

[@joshuaolkowski3351]

Great job. I would recommend putting some penetrating fluid on the inner tie rod nut or any nut before trying to loosen. Just my two cents.

[@AutoFixYT]

Agreed. Sometimes I don’t bother but usually I do.

[@Alvaroalpha9]

Dumb question but... I'm looking foward to buy '93 Corolla and I think it's a really complete car but do you know if it has cruise control? also... do you plan on doing newer videos with the corolla? Cheers!

[@AutoFixYT]

Yes I have some videos lined up for the Corolla but haven't filmed them yet. As for cruise control, I know it was an option but many don't have it. You can retro-fit it but it takes way more work than what it's worth in my opinion.

[@Alvaroalpha9]

[@efil4kizum]

did you get these inner tierods from 1A auto? if so, how are they holding up? the OEM Toyota inner tierods are EXTREMELY pricey, more than 100$ each i think i saw

[@AutoFixYT]

Yes I did, they work well and are still just fine to this day! Just make sure you add the grease that comes with them, and that your bellow boot seals up well. Those two things are the key to making it last for a long time.

[@El_Jeffe]

Nice headlights and corner lights. You have a link for those.

[@AutoFixYT]

Thanks! And well sort of. I have a link but mine are modified. I retrofitted projector low beams in mine. They were originally reflector low and high beam. I also swapped out the orange reflector corner lights for clear reflector corner lights for an all clear front end.

Holy crap @ the rust. I would never ever pass inspections with rust that bad here. Great job on the rods though.

[@AutoFixYT]

I wouldn't either. You just have to know where to go :) And thank you!

[@lyhaikudai3]

Can you show up the video how to install a tachometer in a 93-97 Toyota Corolla

[@AutoFixYT]

I can't do that because mine already has one from the factory but if I ever have the opportunity to film that I will! And the reason I say that is because I don't know if installing one yourself will require different wiring than what the factory already has installed in the wiring harness.

[@cristiancruz5079]

@@AutoFixYT i already did that experiment..i just found on a junkyard an instrument panel with the tach option. Everything fits like a glove. No extra wiring. I have exactly the same corolla station wagon. Im planing to replace my rack, any advice? Thanks in advance.

[@natanaelhernandezsoto7655]

Hey men I'd like you to do an analysis of your projector headlights at night with high and low light and leave the buy link.

[@AutoFixYT]

I can do that at some point in the future. There's no link the exact kind I have because basically made them myself Haha. I bought black housing headlights and then retrofitted projectors in them. But I can make a short video at some point about them. Don't expect it anytime soon though. Other projects are currently lined up.

[@natanaelhernandezsoto7655]

@@AutoFixYT interesting, I didn't know they were selling projectors for hb4. I found a link with the same already modified ones and would like to see an analysis before buying it. Or at least a photo of how it looks with low light and high light. Or that you'd tell me his opinion. By the way what kind of light do you use, led or hid.

Clunking over bumps, loose feeling steering, tendency to slightly wander to one side or the other, and when you jack up your car and shake the wheel side to side you'll have play.

[@marcellvarga4569]

I dont wanna sound rude or anything. But why do you put new tire rods on a car that is this rusty?

[@AutoFixYT]

Totally understandable. This isn't very much rust actually. If you live in a part of the country that doesn't have salted roads in the winter, then I would understand your point of view. But even if this car was actually very rusty, if it's still in driveable condition, a set of $30 tie rods is cheaper than a whole new car and will get you by for a little longer.

[@marcellvarga4569]

@@AutoFixYT i understand. I live in europe, and cars do get rusty like this. Replacing the sill isn't a big/expensive job if that's the only rust that the car has.

What was the name of the tool you used to remove the inner tie rods

[@AutoFixYT]

It goes by the mysterious name of "Inner Tie Rod Tool". If you look that up on Amazon you can find plenty of options. I also linked it in the description from where I got mine.

[@tykappler4750]

Using the zip tie not good it can get old and break off then it will be open to the elements

[@AutoFixYT]

They last longer than you think. But I do inspect them once in a while to make sure they're still good.

[@roywilkie9577]

14:42 - wouldn't you want to grease those bone dry, rusty threads first?

[@AutoFixYT]

You can put grease on it but that won't do much for you. Being out on the open and in a climate with agressive winters, it'll rust no matter what
