how i changed the inner and outer tie rods on the Astra H MK5

[@danieltimperley7664]

Thanks for this, I borrowed a 32mm spanner but it didn't fit. I used mole grips too and worked a treat. Probably wouldn't have risked it without seeing your video. Thanks.

Thanks Sean. Really helpful. Love the little helper!

[@martinpretorius4875]

thanx for that, now I don't need all those special tools and stuff as it shows in the other videos. just a normal guy doing a normal job.

[@seansautos152]

Glad it helped you out mate. Just hoping to show how you can save money and have a go yourself

[@khalidarshad3448]

Very helpful and straight forward

[@darrenmicklewright2008]

How do you remove the clip from round the rubber gaiter?

[@z0m123]

[@cornelisemail6070]

That tyrap to hold the boot is that strong enough?

[@Sportage5603]

Jubilee clip would be better

[@bigbadjohn662]

No thread lock?

[@noeld7784]

Thanks Sean

What are the symtoms of these failing

[@seansautos152]

Knocking when turning wheel

[@johnocallaghan9252]

Did you get the tracking checked when you were finished ?

[@seansautos152]

Yes mate, i had the tracking done the next day

[@johnocallaghan9252]

Was there an adjustment made when you did the tracking ?

[@seansautos152]

not much adjustment but is always best to get the tracking checked

[@johnocallaghan9252]

Ya that s what everyone says. Im just allways looking for short cuts ha ha

[@seansautos152]

im the same mate lol.... its half price tracking at national tryes and autocare was only £15 just have to print the voucher off the website..

[@erdemir5641]

Why have all brummies got a staffy

[@D4mo2612]

Its 33mm bud

[@NMUK]

Better then nothing save money then garage

[@sspeedy2859]

Never measure the old tie rod, count the number of threads it took to remove the outer tie rod from the inner tie rod. It's more accurate so you never need an alignment after.

[@smith27uk]

I'll probably do that, wheel alignment is such a rip off, cheapest around here nowadays is £35 but it can be around £50 or £60, I'll probably take the car up to high speed after changing the rods and see if there's any vibration before deciding to get it tracked or not, then keep an eye on my tyres for abnormal wear !!!
